A man shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Northern California was fired upon before he moved his vehicle, his attorney said on Thursday, disputing the agency's account that officers opened fire in response to a threat.
Carlos Iván Mendoza Hernández, 36, remains hospitalized after being struck more than half a dozen times during the incident near Interstate 5 in Patterson. His attorney, Patrick Kolasinski, said after visiting him that Mendoza Hernández "was trying to get away because he'd already been shot at, and he was just scared that he was going to die," according to NBC News.
