A ICE federal agent fatally shot himself in the head at waterfront Chelsea park in New York Friday.
The 42-year-old U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement deportation officer shot himself with a 40 caliber service pistol inside Pier 40 in Hudson River Park at around 11 am.
A source at the scene described how the officer calmly walked into the park, took out his pistol and shot himself in the head.
He was rushed to Lenox Hill Hospital but doctors were unable to save him, according to New York Daily News.
ICE released a statement Friday afternoon: 'Tragically, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation officer from the New York field office suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound and has passed away.'
It added: 'The agency is not releasing further details pending notification of the officer's next of kin.
'ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility is reviewing the matter and coordinating with the New York Police Department on the investigation.'
The agent worked at a field office in lower Manhattan, just blocks away from the scene of the shooting.
