ICE Agent Shot by 72-Year-Old Man After Alleged Attack
David Gonzalez, 32, was arrested after allegedly attacking a man and his daughter while off-duty in California, police said.
An off-duty U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent was shot by a 72-year-old man outside the man's home in Fresno, California, police said. Officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a gunshot in the area of East Dudley and North Broadway Street on Friday morning. They found the agent, David Gonzalez, 32, with a gunshot wound to his midsection.
A woman, who lived with the victim, had discovered Gonzalez asleep on her front lawn and alerted her 72-year-old father. Gonzalez, appearing intoxicated and agitated, physically assaulted the elderly man, causing injuries and forcing him to the ground. When the daughter tried to intervene, Gonzalez attacked her as well, causing her to fall.
Fearing for his safety and his daughter's, the victim shot Gonzalez, striking him. The daughter's boyfriend, an off-duty police officer, arrested Gonzalez, who was transported to the hospital for treatment. Gonzalez faces felony assault and other charges, while the 72-year-old will not face criminal charges. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and investigators are seeking additional witnesses and video evidence.
