(Headline USA) A federal immigration agent shot and wounded a man on Sunday in Austin, Texas, authorities said.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer rammed the man’s car then got out of his federal vehicle and opened fire at least five times, said Mike Siegel, who represents Austin’s District 7.
The shooting occurred in the early afternoon on the city’s north side, and police and the mayor later spoke about the details of the incident.

The man was taken to a hospital in unknown condition, Siegel said. Authorities were releasing additional information at an afternoon news conference.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, didn’t immediately respond to requests for details.
A dark blue Toyota Corolla was parked under an overpass with damage to its passenger-side door and what appeared to be bullet holes, local media reported. Siegel said he could see at least two bullet holes.
A large law enforcement presence was at the scene, along with a crowd of onlookers.
U.S. Rep. Greg Casar, who represents parts of Austin, called for transparency as the shooting is investigated.
