According to the Department of Homeland Security,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
agents attempted a targeted vehicle stop tied to suspected members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan transnational gang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DHS said that when agents identified themselves, the driver allegedly tried to \u201cuse the vehicle as a weapon,\u201d prompting an agent to fire defensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both the driver and passenger were wounded and later hospitalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officials allege the passenger was linked to Tren de Aragua\u2019s prostitution network, while the driver is believed to be an active gang member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
