An employee of a company that runs an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Colorado is under arrest after shooting and injuring a woman on Thursday evening. The incident happened after the woman participated in a protest in front of the facility earlier that day, according to the Aurora police department.

When officers arrived on the scene, they said they found the woman with a gunshot wound in her lower body. She had a friend with her, who was unharmed.

Police said they stopped a man in his vehicle not far from the scene. They seized his car and gun and identified him as Brandon Booth, 42, an employee for Geo Group.

“We are aware that an off-duty Aurora ICE Processing Center employee was involved in a shooting incident,” a spokesperson for Geo Group said in an email. “This individual has been placed on unpaid administrative leave, and we will fully cooperate with law enforcement.”

4. I believe she was stopping him from entering the building

when he arrived to work his shift. Instead of just getting in his car and leaving, he confronted and shot her.

5. She wasn't in a car.

She was walking.

3. But but he said she was blocking his way to work

Looks like he decided to run and skip his shift
"Off duty " that's so the company can plead no responsibility.

6. If he wasn't able to clock in for his shift, I suppose technically he wasn't on duty

7. Lol I knew that

He ran instead of clocking in cause he knew he was in deep shit.

Edit to add: waiting for the background check they did before giving this T man a deadly weapon. Since he had it in his possession while heading into work.
