CAMARILLO, Calif. (KABC) – During the chaotic clashes between demonstrators and federal agents following an immigration raid at a farm near Camarillo Thursday, one individual was spotted allegedly firing a weapon towards agents.
AIR7 captured the moment a person at the demonstration near the Laguna Road facility appeared to fire a gun at federal agents, moments after the agents fired smoke canisters at the crowd in an attempt to disperse them.
No injuries were reported.
The FBI has now launched an investigation into the alleged shooting and is offering a reward up to $50,000 for information leading to a conviction.
Heads up that stat is disingenuous. It was taken during covid (which contributed to a decline in the true cause, auto fatalities), included “children ages 0-19” (some of which are decidedly not legally children), and only took place in a few major cities (IIRC NYC, LA, CHI, BAL, and one or two more I can’t recall because it’s been 5+yr,) all cities known for their gang problems. Gangs which often ensnare kids as young as elementary school to deliver packages, but it usually starts to get more violent at ~15-18. Most of the kids shot were involved in that life, which is still a problem yes, but it’s usually spun as if 5yos are mostly dying from school shootings, which simply isn’t the case and the methodology was flawed to give that false impression. If they’d have done it with a wider sample it likely would have still been car crashes even then, and it’s certainly back by now.
