Investigators said that the two women initiated a verbal confrontation with the employees before taking a picture of their vehicles and walking away.
At this point, investigators said that Booth grabbed his personally owned pistol and fired a single shot in the direction of the women, hitting one of them in the lower body. He then got into his vehicle and drove away before he could be detained.
Committed the crime of hurting his feelings and then leaving peacefully. At least she's still alive.
Officers located him and arrested him on suspicion of charges, including:
- Attempted second-degree murder
- First-degree assault
- Attempted first-degree assault
- Felony menacing
- Unlawful carrying of a concealed weapon
The woman was taken to the hospital with reported non-life-threatening injuries.
So, it sounds like he was quickly arrested by the real police.
I'm glad this happened, but let's see if any of those charges actually stick.
I strongly suspect that they will not and that this is all for theatrics.
What?!
theyre just getting emboldened cuz you wont fight back. taking the moral high ground doesn't work against an opponent who has no morals.
It blows me away to see POC working for ice....
No war but a class war.
Dude would have loved being a slave catcher.
And being delusional that they won't be next after they get all the immigrants.
This left-wing violence is out of control.
Wow, he looks happy with how his life is going!
And the only reason theyre not protecting him is so obvious. Fuck ice fuck the us
They are also saying the shooter isn't ICE but GEO. I'm not sure what that is or if DHS is lying about the shooter.
GEO Group is a prison contractor that's been hired by ICE to build, run, and maintain their facilities. The shooter is an employee of a private corporation but the corporation he works for is on the public dime. ICE isn't protecting him like they protect their own employees because as private security he will be held accountable as an individual rather than having the agency or even the private corporation he works for held accountable. They're more than happy to throw one guy under the bus to avoid accountability for themselves, and while they can't do that with ICE agents they can with private security.
