00:00A U.S. immigration agent shot and wounded a man and a woman in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday during a targeted vehicle stop by U.S. Border Patrol agents.
00:12The shooting occurred near a medical clinic in eastern Portland.
00:15Police said the driver, a suspected Venezuelan gang member, tried to use his vehicle to run over the agents, prompting one agent to fire a defensive shot, after which the driver and a passenger fled the scene.
00:28About six minutes later, police were notified that a man and a woman with gunshot wounds had sought help at a location roughly three kilometers northeast of the clinic.
00:38My message to the federal government is this. We demand transparency.
00:43We demand your cooperation with Portland police and the Multnomah County D.A.
00:48Because we need to investigate this incident efficiently and effectively so we can rebuild trust with our nation's government.
00:58Today, I want to say clearly that we stand with Minneapolis. We stand with Minnesota. We stand with Chicago. We stand with L.A.
01:06We stand with every community that is hurting in our nation, every family that is afraid, every person who feels unseen or unheard.
01:15The incident came a day after a separate fatal shooting by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
01:23That shooting, which killed a 37-year-old mother of three, triggered widespread protests and condemnation from local officials.

01:36I don't know, I'm going to take court, guys.
01:41Are you going to kill commissioners?
01:44Are you going to kill, guys?
01:46I'm sorry.
01:48You
