Clearly not what happened when viewed from multiple angles.
The driver backed up, turned wheel prior to moving forward, and drove forward to leave.
During this, the ICE officer advanced, drawing his weapon, stepped into the turn circle of the vehicle, fired, and then jumped out of the way.
It's unclear whether he was hit, it is clear that he moved in front of the vehicle to fire with the intent of then moving out of danger.
At worst he skimmed across the rounded corner of the bonnet as a result of his own actions.
I think the officer moved to go towards the driver-side window, the driver then turned the wheel (past the officer, you can see the wheels turn to avoid him) to escape, the officer drew his weapon and shot her as she was leaving.
It's very clear from the video that she had no intention of running him over, he shoots after the car is past him.
There are several videos floating about the internet, it seems inescapable that soon enough there will be more and some of those will have been generated or altered.
The few that I've seen so far appear authenic, cover a few angles, and show three ICE agents about the car
* one that approached from the side and attempted to open the door causing the woman to back up, turn and leave,
* another that approached from the front and drew to fire when it became clear the car was going to leave,
* a third that stood back a little doing very little.
The one I saw was on a news show (it was the same one as you describe), which hopefully has verified it.
