General Discussion

Not only did this poorly trained ICE shooter needlessly deploy his weapon and kill the woman in the car, but even the other nearby agents seemed surprised that he chose to fire because they saw no need to draw their guns. And this agent firing his gun in the direction of his fellow agent recklessly endangered him as well. The nearby agent at the door of the car seemed startled as he quickly tried to dodge away from the direction his fellow agent was firing. And ricochets of bullets and debris could have killed or injured him as well as possible stray rounds landing to the rear of the target could have gotten innocent bystanders killed or injured too. But after the driver was killed, that car went out of control and also could have resulted in fatal consequences to others. There was no need for deadly force as the agents could have just let her drive away and easily apprehended her later because they had her license plate number and many witnesses. Some lesser qualified LEO's like this one seem attracted to that career because they conflate being TV cowboys or Dirty Harry with real life and death situations and it has warped their minds to fetishize the gun and its use. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
