The Department of Homeland Security says that during the vehicle stop, a subject refused to exit his vehicle and tried to run Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers down. DHS says he struck two officers with his vehicle, and that one officer had to discharge his firearm in self-defense.
The video reviewed by Eyewitness News does not show the driver trying to run the officers down. The agency did not answer our questions about why the driver was stopped or whether the agents had an administrative or judicial warrant.
