Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who killed Renee Good, suffered internal bleeding due to the incident, two Department of Homeland Security officials told CBS News.
After Good's shooting, Ross walked away from the scene and did not appear to be in pain. The DHS officials did not say how extensive the alleged internal bleeding was.
U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino confirmed that Ross had "several threats against his life" after he shot Good to death as she tried to flee the scene in Minneapolis.
Border czar Tom Homan claimed that Ross "has to be in hiding … for the safety of him and his family."
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) revealed it halted an investigation into the shooting after the FBI stopped cooperating with the agency.
"As we've previously said, full access to evidence, witnesses, and information is necessary to meet the investigative standard that Minnesota law and the public demands; without it, we cannot do so," the BCA said.
Earlier this week, at least six Minnesota federal prosecutors resigned after they were forced to treat the incident as an assault on an ICE officer.
