Summary
Clemente Lara-Hernandez remained at large Wednesday after ICE said he rammed an agency vehicle during an arrest attempt in Harrisburg around 6:15 a.m., prompting a federal agent to fire a weapon.
ICE said the Mexican national resisted being taken into custody, used his car as a weapon, then drove the wrong way on a one-way street and crashed into a civilian vehicle.
No one appeared to have been struck by the gunfire, though one ICE agent suffered a cut to the hand. Harrisburg police said they only responded to secure the scene.
The FBI is leading the investigation, while ICE said Lara-Hernandez has prior offenses including assault, hit-and-run and a domestic violence incident.
ICE tied the episode to a broader rise in threats against its officers, citing increases of more than 1,300% in assaults, 3,300% in vehicular attacks and 8,000% in death threats.
