DHS said after the agents identified themselves, the driver „weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.“

„Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot,“ DHS said. The department said the man drove off with his passenger.

The shooting occurred at around 2:18 p.m. local time in the Hazelwood neighborhood in East Portland. Portland police officers responded to a 911 call and „confirmed federal agents were involved in a shooting,“ Day said.

About six minutes later, Day said, officers responded to a separate location about three miles away for a 911 call, where they found a man and woman with gunshot wounds.
