"An employee of The GEO Group, the private-prison company that operates the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Aurora, has been arrested in connection with a shooting of a woman outside the facility Thursday night, Aurora police said.
Brandon Booth, 42, was arrested on suspicion of charges that include attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault and felony menacing, according to an Aurora Police Department release.
The shooting occurred just outside the facility on Nome Street, where the victim had been among a group of demonstrators participating in a protest against ICE detention. She was transported to the hospital and her injuries “are believed to be non-life threatening,” police officials said."
