ICE agent shot, two others injured in Calif. gang sweep, authorities say

Three officers in Roseville, Calif. were injured Friday afternoon during a gang sweep, including an ICE agent who was shot, Fox40.com reported.

A statement released from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that the ICE agent was shot Friday afternoon shortly after 3 p.m. while conducting a joint enforcement action with investigators from the police department in Roseville, Calif.

"The special agent was rushed to a local hospital where he is now reported to be stable and alert," the statement read

Police identified the gunman as 23-year-old Samuel Duran, a parolee-at-large, and said he is pinned down in a confined area.

Fox 40.com reported that two other officers from other agencies were hurt by shrapnel from bullet fragments.

The incident created scenes of panic and chaos in a typically quiet middle class suburb of about 120,000. Walstad described multiple shooting sites as the suspect tried to escape a swarm of descending law enforcement agents, and reporters on the scene described hearing several volleys of gunfire.

All three officers were taken to the hospital. The ICE officer is expected to recover, but the condition of the other two officers wasn't immediately known.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
