Two people were injured in a shooting involving a federal agent in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday, according to authorities.

The incident came a short time after an ICE officer allegedly shot and killed a woman in her car in Minneapolis, Minnesota, sparking outrage and backlash against the presence of federal agents there. Similarly, the mayor of Portland called for immigration enforcement operations to halt while the investigation is ongoing.

In both cases, federal officials said the motorists tried to ram agents, who fired defensive shots.

But it doesn't start with that passive voice section...?

It starts:

2 shot by ICE agent in 'targeted' stop, Portland mayor asks ICE halt operations

And they are using alleged in the legal sense, which is a wise standard if you want to remain in operation.
