US federal immigration agents have shot and injured two people in a car outside a hospital in Portland, Oregon, just a day after an officer shot dead a woman in Minneapolis.

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said agents conducted a "targeted" stop of a car believed to contain two people associated with the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang about 2.19pm local time today. 

"When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponised his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents," the department said in a statement.

"Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene."

Homeland Security alleged the passenger is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela with connections to the gang's prostitution ring and involved in a shooting in Portland, while the driver is believed to be a member of the same gang.

Portland Police said they were called to a shooting at the 10200 block of Southeast Main Street in Hazelwood, outside Adventist Health Portland, and confirmed federal agents were involved.

Shortly later, they received a call that a man who had been shot was asking for help in the nearby Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside area.

Officers arrived to find a man and woman with gunshot wounds and applied a tourniquet as they called for paramedics.

The pair were taken to hospital in unknown conditions.

"We are still in the early stages of this incident," Portland Police Chief Bob Day said.

"We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more."

Yesterday, an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, 37, in her car while she was on a residential street near her home in Minneapolis.

Confronting video captured by bystanders showed the agents blocking a doctor from providing her with medical help.

President Donald Trump and senior members of the White House have defended the agent's actions, with Vice President JD Vance going as far as saying he had "absolute immunity".

The 10200 block of Southeast Main Street and the Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside area have been blocked off for police investigation.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson, who has been outspoken in his opposition to Trump's move to deploy the National Guard to the city, condemned the administration in a strong and emotional statement, saying federal militarisation undermines public safety.

"Just one day after the horrific violence in Minnesota at the hands of federal agents, our community here in Portland is now grappling with another deeply troubling incident," he said.

"We cannot sit by while constitutional protections erode and bloodshed mounts. Portland is not a 'training ground' for militarised agents, and the 'full force' threatened by the administration has deadly consequences.

"As mayor, I call on ICE to end all operations in Portland until a full investigation can be completed.

"I will use every legal and legislative tool available to protect our residents' civil and human rights."

Wilson called on residents not to respond to violence with violence and asked them to show up with calm and purpose during this time.

"We must stand together to protect Portland," he said.

Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley said he had huge concerns over the shooting and was working to get answers.

"Please keep protests of Trump's ICE/CBP peaceful, as Trump wants to generate riots. Don't take the bait," he said.

Trump this week ordered the remaining National Guards in Portland to stand down, but warned he would redeploy them to the city if crime rises.

"Portland, we got it down to almost no crime. We can go back. We're allowed to go back in, but we'll go back in when the crime starts," he told reporters on Monday.

It was one of several blazes crews across the Bay of Plenty battled on Thursday.

Bondi hero Ahmed al-Ahmed has met with former Prime Minister and current Australian ambassador to the US Kevin Rudd in the latest engagement on his trip to the US.

The 43-year-old joined Rudd and Rabbi Yehoram Ulman in a Democrat Senate leader Chuck Schumer in New York on Friday.

Schumer, a Senate minority leader and the first Jewish person to serve as majority leader during the Biden administration, praised al-Ahmed for his heroism during last month's terror attack at Bondi Beach.

The Syrian-born father was widely praised after vision of him wrestling and disarming the gunman went viral.

"Thank you for your bravery," Schumer said.

"You've helped bring us together, not apart and that's so important."

Ahmed described the opportunity to meet Rudd as "a great honour" on social media.

During the exchange, the two spoke about Ahmed's recovery and the moment he wrestled the gunman.

"The best country in the world, I'm an Aussie and I put my blood to my country," Ahmed told Rudd.

Rudd told Ahmed he did an "extraordinary thing" and Australia loves him for it.

"Your image went out across the world," Rudd said.

"We love you, you're a good bloke."

Ahmed touched down in the US earlier this week for medical treatment.

He has since attended a major Jewish gala in New York and visited the burial site of the late leader of the Chabad movement with leaders of the city's Jewish community.

As temperatures continue to soar with heatwave warnings issued over a broad part of the nation, some areas are set to face their hottest day in over half a decade.

Temperatures are set to rise past 40 degrees over more than 3500 kilometres of Australia, extending from Victoria's south to Western Australia's Pilbara district, Weatherzone said.

Although the weather is standard for Australia's north west during this time of year, parts of the south east are on pace to experience their hottest day since the Black Summer bushfires today.

Melbourne is expected to hit 43 degrees this afternoon, which would be the city's hottest day in over five years. 

The intense heat will continue with Mildura in Victoria's north west forecast to reach 45 degrees, and Renmark in South Australia slated to hit a scorching 46 degrees.

The extreme weather is set to pose a risk to health and infrastructure across the nation's southeast as people are being urged to take necessary safety measures, as the heat is set to continue throughout the weekend.

The intense, dry, and windy conditions have resulted in catastrophic fire warnings in Victoria's Wimmera, North Central, Northern Country and South West districts.

Extreme fire danger is also forecast in other parts of Victoria, as well as in parts of New South Wales, south and large parts of South Australia. 

Winds may also result in thunderstorms that are likely to produce little to no rain across parts of Victoria on Friday, causing a potential fire risk as they pass through.

A federal immigration operation in Minneapolis turned deadly this week when a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good during a confrontation involving her vehicle.

Mobile phone video captured the shooting, which federal officials claimed was an act of self-defence but that the city’s mayor described as “reckless” and unnecessary.

Video shows an ICE officer approaching Good’s SUV stopped in the road as the vehicle begins to move forward.

Another ICE officer standing in front of it draws his gun and fires at close range as he jumps out of the way.

Here's what to know about US regulations on using deadly force in these situations.

When can officers fire at a moving vehicle?

There is no universal training standard for US law enforcement.

But most police departments and federal guidance bar shooting at a moving vehicle unless the driver poses an imminent threat of deadly force beyond the car itself.

Why are shootings at vehicles restricted?

Experts say firing at a moving car is one of the riskiest forms of lethal force, increasing the chance of stray gunfire or a loss of vehicle control that can endanger bystanders.

Are officers expected to move out of the way?

Yes. Justice Department policy says deadly force is allowed only when no reasonable alternative exists, including stepping out of the vehicle’s path.

Can officers use deadly force just to stop or arrest someone?

No. Policies generally state officers cannot use deadly force solely to arrest someone or to disable a fleeing vehicle if the person does not pose an immediate threat.

Do federal immigration agents follow different rules?

Not fundamentally.

ICE and other federal officers operate under similar Justice Department guidance limiting gunfire at vehicles, although federal agents have added legal protections when acting within their official duties.

What is ICE's policy?

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, allows deadly force only when an officer reasonably believes someone poses an imminent threat of death or serious injury.

Who investigates these shootings?

Federal agencies conduct internal reviews, and state and local authorities may also pursue criminal investigations.

Federal agents are not immune from prosecution if they act outside their authority.

The FBI is leading the investigation into the Minneapolis shooting.

Train travel has been severely impacted, with all services in Cornwall cancelled.

"This multi-hazard event will bring significant disruption to many," said Neil Armstrong, chief forecaster at the Met Office.

"This is a complex spell of severe weather."

Europe bracing for storm impact

Storm Goretti is expected to sweep into north-west Europe after it leaves the shores of the UK.

This week many countries have recorded frigid temperatures, snow and ice.

The severe weather disrupted services at one of the continent's biggest airports – Schiphol in the Netherlands, causing the cancellation of about 700 flights.

French media also reported disruption at a major airport.

Heavy snow forced the cancellation of about 100 flights at Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport and a further 40 at the French city's smaller Orly hub on Wednesday, reports France24.

CES is easily the biggest technology trade show in the world, with more than 140,000 industry experts and retail buyers flocking to Las Vegas to see what's new, what's innovative and what might make big sales across the world in the year ahead.

Alongside the biggest brands, such as Samsung, LG, Hisense and Sony, you'll also find small companies trying to make the big time, as well as some successful businesses trying to expand their market share across the world.

Here at the Las Vegas Convention Centre in 2026, 9News has found at least four Aussie companies doing just that.

Espresso might sound like a shot of coffee, but in the tech world it's an Aussie business making ultra thin and portable monitors.

Operating out of Sydney and now with offices in Austin, Texas, Espresso's screens have become popular with content creators and other workers who do a lot of work on the go, either out and about or travelling.

They offer something light and genuinely portable that can fit in a backpack with your laptop, but also has a simple, slim stand to set up when you're working remotely. It's a game changer for many people.

During the CES, the company announced a new 15-inch model which is also its first model to come in multiple colours. It is launching first in the US, with an Australian launch expected in the coming months.

From selling online direct to consumers, to clinching a deal to showcase their products in JB Hi-Fi and now in Costco across the US, the company has a strong growth trajectory. A show such as CES exposes them to even more buyers from around the world.

RØDE started out as a premium microphone brand, manufacturing products in Sydney, it became the go-to brand for on-camera microphones in the YouTube boom.

Now in the social media generation, it has expanded its range to include small clip-on microphones used by content creators among many others.

The company has also expanded into audio and video podcast production, and at CES has been showcasing upcoming products in this space to content creators at the main convention hall.

That a company the size and scale of RØDE could come out of Australia in the first place is an achievement to be proud of, but even more so they still manufacture in Sydney is a "Made in Australia" badge of honour on show to the world at CES.

STM Goods started in the Sydney suburb of Bondi by a couple looking to make stylish and durable smartphone accessories. Today, it makes a huge range of accessories and backpacks among much more.

Its showcase stand at CES is the largest of all these Aussie companies, showing off its large range and colourful offerings, and using a well-worn conference trick of gifts at the stand to attract huge numbers and queues of people to the STM booth.

A show like CES and other global trade shows allows STM to find more retail companies across the world to sell its range and expand their global footprint and market share.

At the other end of the spectrum is Aussie start-up Strapsicle. Attending CES to showcase its new iPad mini case, Strapsicle makes a silicone case for iPads and Kindle e-readers that allows you to hold the device in the palm of your hand, making reading, drawing or interacting even easier.

Co-founder and chief executive Louise Rice said: "What started as an unfortunate incident in a moment of post-partum sleep deprivation, which led me to dropping my Kindle e-reader on my newborn son's head, has turned out to be one of the greatest accidents of all time."

"We're a small, scrappy start-up who is delivering a series of products for the most popular mobile devices in the world, as customers find not only tremendous convenience when using them to hold their device, but more importantly they're also finding overwhelming health benefits while using our straps, which is very rewarding to my partner and I."

Who knows, Strapsicle might be noticed at CES by a major retail brand from around the world and take the company to all new levels.

Trevor Long travelled to Las Vegas with support from Hisense, LG, Reolink, LEGO and Samsung.

A mum in Perth's northern suburbs is too terrified to leave her home, after being scraped up and shaken by an incident on her own driveway.

Traci Grimes says a teen riding an e-bike pelted a brick at her arm as she unloaded groceries while holding her baby.

The projectile missed the newborn by centimetres.

"It could have killed him, honestly," Grimes told 9News.

"I'm so thankful it got me and not him."

The Clarkson mother-of-two has been caught in what police say is a surge in reckless street behaviour – with rocks and water balloons hurled at cars, homes smashed up and stunts filmed and posted online.

"They came back literally two seconds after we locked our big wooden door and hurled another big brick at our roller blinds," Grimes said.

"The thought of them probably roaming the street right now with their friends causing even more damage is the most upsetting part."

WA Police have launched a major crackdown on teens terrorising the area, with helicopters and drones being deployed.

Officers are also ramping up their street presence after the surge in violent incidents.

Joondalup detectives this week launched Operation Moorhead to crack down on dangerous behaviour linked to e-rideables.

Three teens have already been charged, and 11 e-rideables seized are set to be destroyed.
