U.S. Federal agents shot two people in Portland, Ore., this afternoon, police said, adding that they were taken to hospital and their conditions were not known.

An ABC News affiliate reported that the agents involved in the shooting were U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents and the FBI was leading a probe.

"Their [people who were shot] conditions are unknown. Officers have determined the two people were injured in the shooting involving federal agents," the Portland Police Bureau said in a statement.

"We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more," Police Chief Bob Day said.

The statement said city police were not involved in the incident.

Multiple faith ministries came together earlier today to hold a vigil at the site, said minister JaNaé Bates Imari, one of the organizers. She said Minnesota is a "state that feels very much under siege right now."

"We all deserve to have dignity and humanity recognized," she said.

She said faith leaders have called for the officer involved to be prosecuted, for ICE to leave the state and for Congress to provide oversight and accountability.

I'm reporting from Minneapolis. I'm at the site of the memorial for Renee Good, where the shooting happened yesterday.

Swarms of people have been coming and going today, but some are planning to stay longer.

A group called the Autonomous Yurt Union came out to build a Mongolian-style yurt here. The group builds yurts throughout Minneapolis to provide temporary shelter for unhoused people.

Alex Johnson, who is part of the group, says he wanted to help keep people safe and warm in case the site becomes an encampment.

He says the yurt can house 20-30 people at a time.

And now, with the rain pouring down, protesters and members of the community are making good use of the shelter.

In general, Gross said law enforcement officers are trained to not shoot at a vehicle that is coming toward them and are instead told to try to get out of the way.

That's because shooting at the driver won't stop the vehicle from moving toward them, Gross said. Also, if the driver is struck, they're likely to become incapacitated, lose control of the vehicle and crash, "potentially killing or seriously injuring someone else or causing property damage," he said.

"And that's exactly what happens in this case," Gross said, alluding to video footage that shows Good's SUV crashing into another vehicle after the shots are fired.

John Gross, associate professor of law at the University of Wisconsin, has experience analyzing photographic evidence and has written extensively about police use-of-force policies, including shooting on vehicles.

Having watched various videos of the fatal shooting, Gross said it does seem the victim didn't comply with officers' demands to step out of her vehicle and may have been deliberately blocking the road.

But if there is an indication the victim was trying to use her vehicle as a weapon — as federal officials have alleged — Gross said it "certainly doesn't appear on the video."

He said video shows the officer at the side of the vehicle when he fires the first shot, not at the front, and he fires two more shots as the vehicle is turning away from him.

"The idea that the vehicle was being used as a weapon or was targeting the officers, I mean, it's clearly not supported by the video evidence that we have from the scene."

Edwin Torres DeSantiago with the Immigrant Defense Network says his organization has been documenting how immigration agents have been operating in Minnesota, including "many, many" instances where they have been in plain clothes or unmarked vehicles.

Agents have been showing up "everywhere," including hospitals, schools, daycares and churches, he said.

"Every single aspect of an individual's life is being dissected, so you can feel like you're constantly being watched and targeted," he said.

"That is not normal. And that level of chaos needs to stop."

A Minneapolis woman says she and her husband had an encounter with a gun-wielding ICE agent roughly 30 minutes before Good was killed yesterday.

"We wanted them to do a U-turn and drive back out the same way that they came," Miller said. "Instead, the driver of that vehicle opened the driver's door, pulled out a gun and told my husband to move the car. So he did."

Miller says she and her husband arrived at the scene of the Good’s shooting shortly after, where they heard a woman screaming: "You just shot her!"

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is again calling federal officials' version of yesterday's events "bullshit" in a post to X this afternoon, specifically calling out the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security.

"Let's call a spade a spade: Kristi Noem watched the videos and doesn't want an impartial investigation because she knows her narrative about domestic terrorism is bullshit," Frey's post says.

Sadness, anger at Minneapolis vigil for woman fatally shot by ICE agent

Radio-Canada journalist Azeb Wolde-Giorghis reports from Minneapolis, where tensions are high — but sombre at the site of a vigil for the 37-year-old woman who was killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday.

McKeever's comments echo sentiments we heard earlier today.

"It's very tough for our community; we've had this happen before and I love this community," he said, referencing the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of police — an incident that took place less than 2 kilometres from this scene.

He continued: "I'm sad, and I've got a little bit of rage in me that I need to pacify, because I'm just pissed right now. And I think a lot of people who care about our community are pissed. We don't want an invading force — that's so un-American. Like, all of this is so un-American to us."

Joe then gestured to the two people standing next to him who had also come to pay respects to Good, saying they were from China and Switzerland.

"To try and explain this to them, it's just mind-boggling."

I'm in Minneapolis at the site of the growing memorial to Renee Nicole Good, located where the 37-year-old mother was shot yesterday.

I spoke to Mark McKeever, who was one of hundreds visiting the site today.

He was clutching a sign that reads "She Was Good," which he said he chose to craft for one simple reason.

"Our president and his Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, have said this was a domestic terrorist," McKeever said.

"This was a mother of a six-year-old child. She was driving her SUV away from the danger. She was not a domestic terrorist. She was good. And she's now been killed."

Like many of the people paying respects today, he said he hopes tensions with ICE don’t boil over.
