72-year-old man fired one shot at Gonzalez during the altercation. The injured agent was later placed in handcuffs by an off-duty police officer, who is the boyfriend of the elderly man’s daughter
The elderly man who shot the agent is not facing charges, and was also being evaluated for his injuries.

Damn, the cop wanted the ICE alive huh.
Should have not missed.

If the cop didn't have a direct connection to the victim, the old man would've been the one arrested
