An individual was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Austin, Texas on Sunday, according to wire material. The victim is currently in a "stable, but serious condition," and Mayor Kirk Preston stated that the city still lacks details regarding the circumstances surrounding the shooting or the identities of those involved.
Austin Police Department Chief Lisa Davis confirmed that the incident was not handled by their department.
