Federal agents shoot woman they say 'boxed in' authorities on Chicago's South Side
Source: WBEZ
Authorities were on patrol when they were rammed by 10 cars, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. One of the drivers was armed with a semi-automatic weapon, prompting officers to open fire, DHS said. A woman was shot and was taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.
A woman was shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents Saturday morning on Chicagos South Side, marking the second shooting since President Donald Trumps administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the shooting erupted after patrolling agents were rammed by 10 cars and boxed in. Agents then fired defensive shots when they discovered the woman was armed with a semi-automatic weapon while driving one of the cars.
The time and location of the shooting werent immediately known. No law enforcement officials were hurt.

I can't even picture either possibility.

(78,133 posts)nor were the local police informed.. Something is fishy to say the least.
..........The patrolling agents were rammed by vehicles and "boxed in by 10 cars," DHS said. The statement did not say where in Broadview this occurred, but that it was "in the same area" as the ICE facility.
DHS said the agents were unable to move their vehicles and got out of the car. According to DHS officials, one of the drivers of a car boxing them in had a gun, which the agency said was a semi-automatic weapon. DHS said the agents opened fire, striking the driver, who they said is a woman. She was taken to a hospital for treatment. A spokesperson for Sinai Health System said the woman has since been released.
In their statement, DHS claimed the woman was named in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection intelligence bulletin last week for doxxing agents and posting threats against ICE online. They have not released her name or any other further information that could corroborate those claims.....................

(10,161 posts)when it suits their purposes.
But when a scapegoat or false flag is needed, constitutional law somehow becomes unimportant.
If her threat was masked and unidentified, does it even matter how she was utilizing her 2A rights?
Thousands of armed, untrained goons with a fresh 150 billion in their foul pockets ARE going to be a problem which is exactly the plan.

(40,196 posts)Every damn thing they see that strikes them as 'improper' is targeted for mobbed assault -- like they're scared of their own shadows.
And the only way they can deal with a lone woman (who somehow is responsible for ten ?? cars) is to shoot her ? Just how much did they skimp on training these guys ? Did anyone train them ?
