A new report suggests that the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good was treated at a hospital for internal bleeding.
Citing two United States officials, CBS News reported that Jonathan Ross, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement involved in the January 7 shooting, suffered internal bleeding to his torso after the incident.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to CBS that Ross was injured but did not provide additional information about how serious the bleeding was.

Secretary of Homeland Security Krisi Noem has previously alleged that the shooting of Good was an act of self defense and said that she “weaponized her vehicle,” according to previous reporting by CBS.
The outlet noted that Noem alleged Ross was struck by the car and injured.
“A doctor did treat him. He has been released,” she said.
Retired ICE agent Eric Balliet reviewed footage of the shooting for CBS and questioned Ross‘ positioning in front of Good‘s vehicle.
“I don’t understand the tactical or law enforcement advantage of someone on foot in front of a moving, running or occupied vehicle. You’re almost inducing a shooting if that person decides to flee,” he said, adding that fleeing is “not a justification for the use of deadly force.”
He explained, “The threshold becomes: is your life in imminent danger or is someone else’s in imminent danger?”
