CAMARILLO, Calif. (KABC) -- During the chaotic clashes between demonstrators and federal agents following an immigration raid at a farm near Camarillo Thursday, one individual was spotted allegedly firing a weapon towards agents.

AIR7 captured the moment a person at the demonstration near the Laguna Road facility appeared to fire a gun at federal agents, moments after the agents fired smoke canisters at the crowd in an attempt to disperse them.

No injuries were reported.

The FBI has now launched an investigation into the alleged shooting and is offering a reward up to $50,000 for information leading to a conviction.

This is actually a very appropriate response to illegal behavior from law enforcement. We need more of it, with larger groups.

When the police are involved in the crime, you’ve no other reasonable choice.
