During an immigration enforcement operation in San Bernardino, California, US Customs and Border Protection officers fired at a vehicle, asserting self-defense after being struck. The family in the vehicle stated they fled in fear when surrounded by masked agents in unmarked vehicles. Videos show agents attempting to break windows of the truck before the driver sped off. DHS confirmed two officers were injured but did not detail the severity. Gunshots were reportedly fired as the vehicle left the scene, and bullet holes were visible in the truck.
Videos recorded from inside the family's truck show at least three masked agents wearing tactical vests marked with police surrounding the car. At least one of the agents is wearing a hat marked CBP.
Once the glasses were shattered, my father-in-law, fearing for his life from his perspective, he drove the vehicle away from where those agents were at, Martin told KABC.
As the truck drives away, three apparent gunshots can be heard in the videos and one video shows what seems to be bullet holes in the side of the truck.
DHS said two officers were injured. It did not specify the severity of the injuries.
