BREAKING REPORT: ICE agent hit by Renee Good suffered internal bleeding
It’s being reported now by CBS News, that the ICE officer who was hit by Renee Good and her vehicle as she disobeyed lawful orders and attempted to flee, actually suffered internal bleeding because of the incident.
Here’s more:
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.
It was unclear how extensive the bleeding was. CBS News has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for more information and has not yet received a reply. This story will be updated as we learn more.
Videos from the scene showed Ross walking away after the incident.
Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, previously acknowledged that Ross was taken to the hospital after the shooting and was released the same day. She said he was recovering from his injuries, describing him as an experienced law enforcement officer who believed he was defending himself and fellow agents.
“The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released,” Noem told reporters on Jan. 7.
Ross, a 10-year law enforcement veteran with ICE, was seriously injured in June in a separate incident in the Minneapolis area when he was dragged by a car during an attempted arrest, requiring 33 stitches and hospital care, court records show.
U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino told CBS News in an interview Sunday that Ross “has had several threats against his life,” adding, “he’s in a safe location. He’s recovering from those injuries, and we’re thankful that he’s recovering.”
We heard people downplay the attack by Good, suggesting the officer wasn’t hit very hard or the hit was insignificant. Now we know different, as if it even mattered. She hit the gas when he was in front of her vehicle, weaponizing it, and that’s exactly what she’s no longer with us. He suffered injury and I’m glad he’s recovering.
