Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the shooting erupted after patrolling agents were “rammed by 10 cars” and “boxed in.” Agents then fired “defensive shots” when they discovered the woman “was armed with a semi-automatic weapon” while driving one of the cars, McLaughlin said.

I'm sure the ones firing were excited at the thought of being able to shoot people.

And really their excuse is we just defensively shot when going around the city to kidnap people
