U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents shot a person in New York City on Thursday afternoon, according to police. The shooting took place around 4 p.m. in Manhattan’s Marble Hill neighborhood, according to a statement from the New York Police Department. The NYPD said the victim was taken to a local hospital and was conscious, but provided no further information about the victim. Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., told The Intercept that there was a child in the car and that the child is OK. Photos of the aftermath of the shooting, taken by a neighbor and obtained by The Intercept, show apparent government agents in plain clothes and tactical vests pinning a man on the asphalt. Another man in a high-visibility vest is clutching an assault rifle while holding a phone between his check and shoulder. A neighbor, Iris Rosa, said a man with a high-visibility vest appeared to be posing as a construction worker, but as she watched, Rosa told The Intercept, the man took the vest and put it in a nearby vehicle.
