All that noise had drawn some people out to the street.
In the videos from the scene, some yell at the officer who fired the shots.

This appears as an attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism.
Kristi Noem, the secretary of Homeland Security, said the victim had weaponized her vehicle.
The ICE officer fearing for his life and the other officers around him and the safety of the public fired defensive shots.
President Trump also weighed in, claiming that the victim ran over the agent willfully and viciously.
State and local officials called the administration's framing garbage and propaganda.
Mayor Jacob Fry condemned the shooting as reckless and demanded that ICE leave the city.

Yesterday's shooting was the ninth time immigration officers have fired on people in U.S.
cities since September.

And in each case, the officers claimed self-defense.
