EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) – A spokesperson for U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) said that law enforcement officials are searching for two people they say attempted to ram their vehicle into ICE officers on Thursday.

According to ICE, two people living in the country illegally attempted to hit officers with their vehicle during an operation in the Colorado Springs area.

ICE said one of the agency’s officers fired three shots into the vehicle, and the suspects fled and later abandoned the vehicle.

A shelter-in-place for the area was lifted just before 6 p.m., but officials say the search is still underway for the suspects.

According to ICE, no injuries were reported, and an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
