In a recent and tragic incident in Minneapolis, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Good. Following the shooting, reports indicate that Ross suffered from internal bleeding in his torso. U.S. officials who have been briefed on his medical condition noted that the extent of this bleeding remains unclear.
The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed the injury sustained by Ross but has not provided additional details, despite requests for more information from CBS News. As this story develops, updates will be provided to keep the public informed of any new findings.
Video footage from the scene showed Ross walking away shortly after the shooting incident. Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, has previously acknowledged that Ross was taken to a hospital following the shooting but was discharged the same day. She provided reassurance that he is recovering from his injuries and described him as an experienced law enforcement officer who believed he was acting in self-defense and in defense of his fellow agents at the time of the incident.
According to Noem, the officer was struck by a vehicle during the incident, which led to his hospitalization. "A doctor did treat him, and he has been released," she stated to reporters on January 7. This incident is particularly concerning as it follows another serious injury Ross sustained in June during an attempted arrest in the Minneapolis area, where he was dragged by a car, requiring 33 stitches and extensive hospital care.
U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino spoke with CBS News on Sunday, emphasizing that Ross has received several threats against his life. Bovino assured the public that Ross is currently in a safe location and is recovering from his injuries. "We're thankful that he's recovering," he added, highlighting the dangers law enforcement officers face in the line of duty.
