Story summary

On Friday morning in Fresno, California, an off-duty ICE agent, David Gonzalez, aged 32 from Texas, was arrested for allegedly attacking a woman and her 72-year-old father after he was found sleeping on their front lawn. The woman's father shot Gonzalez during the altercation, wounding him in the midsection; police confirmed that Gonzalez is now hospitalized with the gunshot wound and faces felony assault charges.

The incident took place around 3:30 a.m., when the daughter discovered Gonzalez asleep outside her home and alerted her father who confronted the agent upon waking him up. When Gonzalez allegedly became agitated and assaulted the elder man, his daughter attempted to intervene but was also attacked by Gonzalez. The elderly victim then used his firearm in self-defense, firing one shot.

It remains unclear why Gonzalez, who was off-duty at the time of the incident and alone, had been sleeping on their lawn. Neither article provides definitive information about whether Gonzalez was conducting an ICE operation or if it was a personal matter unrelated to work.
