A spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that officers were conducting a vehicle stop as part of a "targeted law enforcement activity" on Friday morning.
The person being stopped resisted and attempted to drive his vehicle into the officers arresting him, subsequently striking and dragging one of them, ICE said in a statement. "Fearing for his life, the officer discharged his firearm and struck the subject," ICE said.
Photos and video captured by NBC Chicago showed multiple law enforcement vehicles in Franklin Park, where the shooting occurred.
Both the officer and the driver were taken to a hospital. The driver was pronounced dead at the hospital. The officer sustained severe injuries and is in stable condition, ICE said.
