Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents fired shots and injured a man driving a box truck outside a Food Lion in Antioch on Thursday morning, an FBI spokesman said.

ICE spokesman Bryan Cox said that around 7 a.m., ICE agents attempted to conduct a vehicle stop to arrest a 39-year-old Mexican national who had been deported multiple times from the U.S.

At some point during the stop outside the business at 936 Richards Road, the man attempted to flee and drove toward an officer, Cox said.

"When the man realized the officers were immigration agents, he fled the scene, driving toward one of the officers who was standing in front of the truck," Cox said. “I’m not sure if he (the agent) had to dive out of the way or was hurt."

According to the FBI, which is leading the investigation, that agent fired two shots at the truck.

The man escaped the scene in the truck, which was later found down the road in a mobile home park on Honolulu Road, just off Waikiki Boulevard, Cox said.

The man surrendered to the FBI on Thursday afternoon, an ICE spokesman said.

The 39-year-old man, who is from Veracruz, suffered two gunshot wounds and was in stabled condition at a Nashville hospital Thursday night, said immigration attorney Andrew Free.

As of late Thursday night he was not under arrest, FBI Special Agent Joel Siskovic said, and the FBI was not releasing additional information about his surrender.

The truck was found with at least two bullet holes and blood inside, officials said.

Siskovic said the FBI is investigating a potential assault on a federal officer and assisted ICE in the search for the suspect.

Metro Nashville police had the scene at the Food Lion taped off late Thursday morning but said they were not assisting the FBI in the search.

Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers were also on the scene and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was also offering limited assistance, a spokesman said.

Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said officers responded to an ICE agent's report of an officer's "weapon discharging" about 7 a.m.

A dispatcher said the call came in as an immigration issue.

Although Metro police responded to the scene, they are not investigating the incident.

Metro police spokeswoman Kris Mumford said the department knew of no outstanding criminal warrants against the man.

Nashville Mayor David Briley recently signed an executive order calling lawmakers to repeal a state law banning sanctuary city policies — including local cooperation with federal immigration agents.

Brliey issued the following statement after the morning incident:

"The federal government’s inability to arrive at comprehensive immigration reform results in situations like what happened in Antioch this morning. This is exactly what we don’t want happening in our city."
