A driver was sh0t and k!lled after allegedly attempting to run over officers of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during an encounter in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday, July 13.

Authorities said the incident happened when the suspect reportedly drove his vehicle toward ICE officers, prompting law enforcement personnel to open fire.

According to reports, graphic videos circulating on social media show a man lying beside the road near a vehicle with a bullet hole visible through the driver’s side of the front windshield following the shooting, which occurred shortly after 7:15 a.m., as reported by the Portland Press Herald.

Witnesses claimed the unidentified driver accelerated toward ICE agents at an intersection in the small town before officers fatally sh0t him.

An eyewitness, 18-year-old Lucas Scott, said officers wearing green vests had surrounded the vehicle with their weapons drawn before the driver allegedly drove directly at them.

“The car was put into drive and was trying to hit the ICE officer,” Scott said, adding that the agent fired roughly four sh00ts in response.

“I just heard the popping, but I did see him draw his gun,” Scott said.

Another witness said the driver later emerged from the vehicle with a severe head injury.

“He said, ‘I tried to stop,’” nearby resident Daniel Boucher said.

Another resident, Larry Humiston, recalled a separate immigration enforcement operation in the area, saying:

“They chased down a bunch of guys working on a roof down the street a week or two ago. They all ran. I saw one guy jump off the roof to get away. They left all their equipment on top of the roof,” Biddeford resident Larry Humiston told the Portland Press Herald.
