At a news conference, Hochul said the shooting is a continuation of a deadly pattern of violence that "shocks the conscience of every human being with a heart."

Hochul also says the ICE operation has clearly "spun out of control" and called on President Trump to put an end to it.

The man shot has been identified as 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and U.S. citizen. Homeland Security claims Pretti approached officers with a gun and resisted when they tried to disarm him.
