Federal agents shoot woman they say 'boxed in' authorities on Chicago's Southwest Side [View all]

Snip-U.S. Border Patrol shot a woman Saturday morning on Chicago’s Southwest Side, marking the second shooting since President Donald Trump’s 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, McLaughlin said.

The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ have not independently verified the feds’ account. The exact time and location of the shooting weren’t immediately known.
