Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent struck by Renee Good in Minneapolis, suffered internal bleeding.
Ross shot at Good when he feared for his life. Good passed away.
CBS News was the first outlet to report the injuries (from what I can tell), stating that DHS has not confirmed Ross’s injury.
I’m always hesitant to report anything coming from “sources,” but this sounds serious:
Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, previously acknowledged that Ross was taken to the hospital after the shooting and was released the same day. She said he was recovering from his injuries, describing him as an experienced law enforcement officer who believed he was defending himself and fellow agents. “The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released,” Noem told reporters on Jan. 7. Ross, a 10-year law enforcement veteran with ICE, was seriously injured in June in a separate incident in the Minneapolis area when he was dragged by a car during an attempted arrest, requiring 33 stitches and hospital care, court records show.
Earlier this morning, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey downplayed Ross’s injuries. From Fox News:
“The ICE agent walked away with a hip injury that he might as well have gotten from closing a refrigerator door with his hips,” he told reporters Friday. “Give me a break. No, he was not ran over. He walked out of there with a hop in his step.”
DHS has been quiet about Ross since the shooting.
Can you blame the department?
U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino told CBS News “that Ross ‘has had several threats against his life'”
DHS has put Ross in a safe location where he is recovering from his injuries.
