ICE Kills



Feb. 16, 2012: Police respond to reports of shots fired at the federal building in Long Beach, California.

An agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, shot a supervisor on February 16, 2012, Thursday evening, at the federal building in Southern California, local news outlets reported.

Multiple media outlets noted that the gunman was dead, killed by a third agent who intervened.

Over 100 police officers reportedly responded to the federal building in downtown Long Beach around 5:50 p.m. local time, after a report of shots fired on the seventh floor.

The surviving victim, a supervisor, was taken to St. Marry Medical Center, the LA Daily News reported.

Emergency dispatchers initially reported that one person had been shot in the stomach, CBS2 reported.

The Glenn M. Anderson Federal Building is located in downtown Long Beach and houses ICE offices, among other agencies, according to the Los Angeles Times.

There was no immediate word on a possible motive for the shooting.

Anderson was first elected to the 91st Congress in 1968 and served 12 terms from 1969 to 1993. In Congress he became chair of the Committee on Public Works and Transportation. He decided not to run for re-election in 1992.
