ICE Agent goes postal
From LA Times:
A shooting that left one federal immigration agent dead and another wounded appears to have been a dispute between an agent and his supervisor, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times.
The gunman opened fire on the male supervisor shortly before 6 p.m. in the building, according to the sources, who asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak on the matter.
With the supervisor wounded, a third agent intervened and opened fire on the gunman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, according to law enforcement authorities. The male agent who killed the gunman was uninjured.
The supervisor was taken by a Long Beach Fire Department ambulance to nearby St. Mary Medical Center, where he was being treated late Thursday. He was in stable condition.

I like how this is presented referring to the shooter as gunman when he was in fact an ICE agent trying to solve a problem with his weapon. He went from agent in the first paragraph to gunman in the second.
