An attorney for one of the people shot by U.S. Border Patrol in Portland, Oregon, is pushing back against law enforcement's assertions that the shooting victims are connected to a Venezuelan gang.
As Oregon Public Broadcasting's Conrad Wilson reports, little information has been released about the circumstances that preceded Thursday's shooting.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says the two people shot in Portland were suspected Tren de Agua gang associates who were stopped by federal immigration officers.
