Man injured after New York shooting involving DHS agents

A man was injured after a shooting involving US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents, New York City metropolitan police said Thursday.    

What do we know so far? 

The shooting occurred in the afternoon in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx, which is one of New York's five boroughs.

Details are still emerging, but the New York Police Department has denied that its personnel were involved in the shooting. 

The DHS is the parent agency of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

US President Donald Trump's administration has scaled up ICE raids in major US cities to detain and deport people who are in the US illegally.

Local media in New York said ICE was involved in the latest shooting in the Bronx.
