Law enforcement opened fire on a U-Haul truck after the driver decided it was a good idea to back his truck into the police line outside of the US Coast Guard base in Alameda, California.
The incident took place after hours of protesting outside the Coast Guard Base, where ICE workers are staying.
Eyewitnesses said the driver had been hanging out in the area all day before suddenly backing up his U-Haul and accelerating toward police, prompting gunfire. Protesters reportedly screamed for him to stop moments before shots rang out.
The abandoned U-Haul was later found full of bullet holes but no blood.
Democrat leaders have been promoting violence against ICE officials who are doing their job, arresting and deporting illegal aliens from the country.
The Homeland Security released the following statement:
At approximately 10:00 p.m. (PDT) on Thursday, Coast Guard security personnel standing watch on Coast Guard Island observed a vehicle driving erratically and attempting to weaponize the vehicle to ram into Coast Guard Base Alameda.
@USCG personnel issued multiple verbal commands to stop the vehicle, the driver failed to comply and proceeded to put the vehicle in reverse — suddenly accelerating backwards at a high rate of speed directly toward them. When the vehicle’s actions posed a direct threat to the safety of Coast Guard and security personnel, law enforcement officers discharged several rounds of defensive live fire.
No Coast Guard personnel were injured during the incident. Two civilians were injured and are expected to survive. The truck driver was wounded in the stomach and is being held for mental health evaluation.
A bystander was struck by a fragment, treated at a local hospital, and released. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the lead agency for this investigation, and we are coordinating with our law enforcement partners.

The Alameda Coast Guard facility is outside of Oakland. ICE members are reportedly staying on the island, so leftist thugs protested and harassed police officials during the day on Thursday.
Late at night, some genius decided to back a U-Haul truck into the police line at the entrance of the Alameda Coast Guard Base.
