A gunman allegedly opened fire on U.S. Border Patrol agents conducting immigration enforcement operations in Chicago Tuesday, forcing officers to call for police backup.
The shooting occurred near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue when an unknown male in a black Jeep fired shots at federal agents before fleeing the scene, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Others at the scene threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol vehicles.
Chicago Police responded to assist and cleared the area. The shooter and vehicle remain at large.
