The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding in his torso after the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.

The extent of the bleeding was not immediately clear. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Ross was injured but has not yet responded to CBS News’ requests for additional details. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Video from the scene appeared to show Ross walking away after the incident.

Ross has not returned to work, one source said, though the reason was not provided.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem previously said Ross was taken to a hospital after the shooting and released the same day. She said he was recovering and described him as an experienced law enforcement officer who believed he was defending himself and other agents.

“The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released,” Noem told reporters on Jan. 7.

Ross, a 10-year law enforcement veteran with ICE, was seriously injured in June in a separate incident in the Minneapolis area, court records show. In that case, he was dragged by a car during an attempted arrest and required 33 stitches and hospital care.

U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino told CBS News in an interview Sunday that Ross “has had several threats against his life,” adding, “he’s in a safe location. He’s recovering from those injuries, and we’re thankful that he’s recovering.”
