Witnesses: Chaotic scene as couple shot by federal agent arrives at Portland apartments

Описание: Shards of glass on the ground, likely from a broken vehicle’s window, on Friday marked the spot where a man and woman arrived Thursday after being shot and wounded by a federal agent.

Witnesses on Friday recounted to KATU News what they saw at The Bria Apartments at Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside, when Luis David Nino-Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras pulled into its parking lot after being shot at Adventist Health on Southeast Main Street more than 2.5 miles away.

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Border Protection agents pulled the couple over at the health clinic at about 2:20 p.m. to conduct “a targeted vehicle stop,” and when the driver, identified as Nino-Moncada, “weaponized their vehicle,” an agent opened fire. Nino-Moncada then drove away with Zambrano-Contreras in the passenger’s seat.

DHS alleges the couple has ties to the Tren de Aragua gang.
