Two people are on the run after ramming a vehicle into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during an operation near Colorado Springs on Thursday, federal officials said.
An ICE officer fired three shots into the vehicle and the suspects – who agency officials said are in the country illegally – fled the scene and later abandoned the vehicle. No injuries were reported.
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office issued a shelter-in-place order for the 9900 block of Burgess Road and the surrounding quarter mile in Black Forest at 10:25 a.m. and urged people to secure their home or business and stay away from doors and windows.
Sheriff’s officials also closed Black Forest Road near Burgess Road “for the foreseeable future.”
In a statement, an ICE spokesperson said federal immigration officers have seen an 830% increase in assaults.
