Federal agents on Tuesday afternoon shot and wounded a man who accelerated a vehicle in their direction outside a West Palm Beach furniture store, a spokesman said.
The shooting happened in the parking lot of El Dorado Furniture at 1901 Okeechobee Blvd.
Special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations were conducting an investigation when "a suspect accelerated his vehicle in the direction of two of the agents," according to Nestor Yglesias, an agency spokesman.
Both agents opened fire, wounding the suspect. The man, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, was taken to a hospital.
