US Customs Border Patrol ICE NYC.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer has been shot in a Manhattan park in what authorities say was an apparent botched robbery. Police say the officer was shot Saturday night after being approached by two men on a moped. The officer returned fire, hitting one of the men before the suspects fled. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Sunday there was no indication the officer, who was not in uniform, was targeted because of his employment. He was in stable condition and expected to survive. Tisch says a 21-year-old undocumented immigrant with a criminal history was taken into custody as a person of interest in the case after showing up at a hospital with gunshot wounds.
