A federal immigration official shot and injured a man in Austin on Sunday afternoon, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
It’s not immediately clear what led up to the shooting, which reportedly took place in the 7000 block of West Anderson Lane near U.S. 183 and Research Boulevard.
The man was subsequently transported to a hospital, the Statesman reported. His identity and condition are currently unknown.
Officials from the Department of Homeland Security, the Austin Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety didn’t immediately respond to comment requests.
This summer, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer also fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston on July 7. Investigations into that killing are ongoing.
This is a developing story and will be updated frequently.
