移民和海关执法局代理局长托德·莱昂斯(Todd Lyons)在一份声明中说，周二，在加利福尼亚州帕特森市I-5附近，美国联邦调查局正在移民和海关执法局参与的枪击事件的现场。
根据里昂的说法，ICE官员试图逮捕一名他们声称是18街帮派成员的男子，当时他“将他的车辆武器化”并试图碾过一名官员。
莱昂斯声称，该嫌疑人因涉嫌一起谋杀案而在萨尔瓦多受到通缉。
莱昂斯说:“在接受训练后，我们的警员开枪自卫，以保护自己、同事和公众。”。
莱昂斯说，司机被送往当地医院。这个人的情况不清楚。
周二早些时候，斯坦尼斯劳斯县警长办公室发表声明称，他们正在协助枪击事件，并关闭了该地区的进出匝道。
帕特森是加州圣华金河谷的一个农业城市。
FBI on scene of ICE-involved shooting in Patterson, California
The FBI is at the scene of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement-involved shooting that happened in Patterson, California, on Tuesday near the I-5, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said in a statement.
According to Lyons, ICE officers were attempting to arrest a man they claimed was an 18th Street gang member when he “weaponized his vehicle” and attempted to run over an officer.
Lyons claimed that the suspect is wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection with a murder.
“Following their training, our officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents and the public,” Lyons said.
The motorist was taken to a local hospital, Lyons said. The individual's condition is unclear.
Earlier Tuesday, the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office issued a statement saying they were assisting with the shooting and had closed the on and off ramps in the area.
Patterson is an agricultural city in California's San Joaquin Valley.
