[00:00:00] Speaker 1: There is a chaotic scene at the moment because federal law enforcement basically has two spots that they're trying to control. One is straight up the block from us this way, another is to my side, and it's to my side where we believe that this shooting happened. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the incident happened at 6.50 Central Time when law enforcement was trying to target a specific person. And when they went after that person, that person jumped in the car, tried to drive off, crashed. Then, according to the Department of Homeland Security, jumped out of the vehicle. And then it was around that time that people began to see what happened. And then other people began to attack law enforcement as they were trying to detain that suspect. And in the course of that, the immigration officer was hit, according to the Department of Homeland Security, with either a broom or a shovel. DHS says that that officer shot what they are saying are defensive shots. The suspect was shot and is in the hospital, as is that officer. Two other people were taken into custody. What we are seeing right now is these confrontations between protesters and law enforcement. Earlier tonight, they were trying to back up protesters with multiple tear gas and flash bangs. Then the situation seemed to calm down for maybe 30 minutes or so. But now what we're seeing is law enforcement coming back toward us. It's dark, plus you have the flash bangs, plus you have the tear gas. So it's creating quite a chaotic scene here.
