A Venezuelan national was shot after attacking a federal law enforcement officer with a shovel, the Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday.
According to a DHS statement to Fox News, the Venezuelan national was reportedly subject to a “target traffic stop” by federal agents. The illegal alien then attempted to evade capture using his vehicle before crashing into a parked car. The individual then attempted to flee on foot.
An agent managed to apprehend the individual during the ensuing chase. The Venezuelan national then began resisting arrest and “violently assault[ed]” the arresting officer. Two more individuals then exited a nearby residence and began assisting the Venezuelan national in the assault on the officer while wielding a snow shovel and broom handle.
During the incident, the Venezuelan national managed to obtain one of the weapons and began attacking the officer.
The officer fired his weapon at his attacker and struck the individual in the leg.
The group then retreated back into the residence and barricaded themselves inside before being taken into custody. Both the officer and the Venezuelan national have been hospitalized.

When did Leftist rioters take the side of hate-filled, foreign maggots over their own government. Lay off the drugs and get the hell out of our country.
What the screaming DSA Marxist Commie women don’t understand is the people that would beat a armed ICE officer with a shovel would gladly harm them or or their children..
No Minneapolis police on site, after the hooting and apprehension of the three illegals.
The crowd looks like they want to start something..
