Federal immigration officers have shot and wounded a man in central
California while trying to arrest him. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said the shooting happened Tuesday in Stanislaus County. DHS said officers fired when the suspect tried to run over an officer. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement officials said he is a gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection with a murder. He was taken to a hospital for his wounds. An attorney for the man says he is not a gang
member and authorities may have mistaken him for someone with a similar
name.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot and wounded a man in central California while trying to arrest him Tuesday, federal authorities said.

The Department of Homeland Security said agents fired defensive shots at
the suspect after he tried to run over one of the agents with his car.

DHS said the suspect, Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, is wanted in El
Salvador for questioning in connection to a murder. Attorney Patrick Kolasinski, who is representing Mendoza and his family, disputed that
account and said authorities may have mistaken him for someone else with a similar name.

Mendoza was wounded and taken to a hospital, officials said. His family
has not been allowed in to see him at the hospital but were told by a
social worker that he is stable, Kolasinski said.

Kolasinski said his client works as a laborer, doing rehabilitation of
fire damage. He has a 2-year-old daughter and is engaged to a U.S.
citizen, he said.

The shooting occurred in Patterson, a city about 74 miles (119.09
kilometers) southeast of San Francisco.

Dashcam footage obtained by KCRA-TV shows three officers standing around a vehicle stopped on the side of a road. One of the officers appears to be touching the driver-side window of the car when the car begins to back up
and turn, hitting a vehicle behind it. At least two of the agents have
weapons drawn, pointing at the car. The driver then pulls forward toward
where the men are standing and turns sharply, driving over the roadway
median.

The video has no sound and its unclear when the shots were fired and if
words were said.

The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office said they were not involved in the encounter and the FBI is leading the investigation.
