Officers outside U.S. Coast Guard Base Alameda opened fire on a U-Haul truck that was allegedly being driven erratically before being placed in reverse toward law enforcement.
ABC News reported the incident occurred around 10 p.m. Thursday.
The driver of the truck was told to stop numerous times before he allegedly put the vehicle in reverse and sped toward officers.
FOX News published video of the incident:
The Department of Homeland Security commented, saying, “Law enforcement officers discharged several rounds of defensive live fire.”
The driver of the truck was wounded by gunfire but his injuries are non-life-threatening.
Protests had been occurring outside Base Alameda Thursday after news broke that Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be using the base as a station for operations.
