Two people were wounded in a shooting involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Maryland, according to police.

The shooting unfolded at about 10:51 a.m. Wednesday while agents from ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations were “conducting a detail” in Glen Burnie, just outside of Baltimore, Anne Arundel County Police said.

When the agents “approached a white van, that van attempted to run agents over,” police said.

“ICE agents fired at that vehicle,” police said, and then “that vehicle accelerated, coming to rest … in a wooded area” behind houses.

One person in the van was shot and is in the hospital in stable condition, police said. A second person who was outside of the van suffered minor injuries and was also taken to the hospital, police said.

​A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said the driver — who is in the U.S. illegally from Portugal — refused to turn off the van and drove “directly at ICE officers.”
