The extent of Jonathan Ross' injuries has been revealed.
Ross is the ICE agent who has been named as the person responsible for fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good on January 7.
The officer was in Minneapolis, Minnesota, carrying out raids in Good's neighborhood. She was in her car and video footage shows her driving away from officers before gunfire rung out.
The gunshots claimed the 37-year-old mother's life.

Speaking out after Good's sudden passing, her wife Becca described her as 'pure love', 'pure joy', and 'pure sunshine'.
Becca told MPR News in a tear-jerking statement: "Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine."
She continued: "Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow. Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole."
Many have argued that Good's killing was unjustified, but the US government have branded her as a 'domestic terrorist' who 'weaponized her vehicle', therefore agent Ross' use of lethal force was justified.
Whether Ross was actually struck by her vehicle has been a topic of debate since Good's death and people have been analyzing footage shared online. One person who believes that the government's account of events is 'bullsh*t' is Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey.
Seemingly wanting to back their theory that Ross was in fact struck, two US officials have alleged that Ross suffered internal bleeding after the January 7 ordeal.
The bleeding was to his torso according to two US officials briefed on his medical condition, CBS News reports.
The extent of the bleed Ross sustained is unclear. The Department of Homeland Security has simply confirmed that he was injured.
Reportedly, the ICE officer has not yet returned to work but the reason for this hasn't not been revealed.
The news of Ross' alleged injuries come after Kristi Noem confirmed that he was hospitalized following the incident. It's believed Ross was released the same day.
UNILAD has approached ICE for comment.
