OAKLAND, Calif. — A federal law enforcement officer in California who was shot and killed at the U.S. courthouse in Oakland during a protest for George Floyd that turned violent has been identified as Dave Patrick Underwood, 53, his family confirmed to Fox News.

Underwood was killed while a second officer was wounded and remains in critical condition. His identity has not yet been released.

“When someone targets a police officer or a police station with an intention to do harm and intimidate — that is an act of domestic terrorism,” Department of Homeland Security Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli said at a Washington, D.C., news conference Saturday.

Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf deplored the violence against the officers.

“An assassin cowardly shot two federal protective contractors as they stood watch over a protest,” Wolf said on Saturday.

A suspect in the incident hasn’t been named and the attack is still under investigation, authorities said.

Underwood’s sister, Lancaster City Councilwoman Angela Underwood Jacobs — who briefly ran for Congress — confirmed the death of her brother in a short post on Facebook.

“My brother, Dave Patrick Underwood, a federal officer, was murdered 5/29/20 in Oakland California, while on duty during the riots. This Violence Must Stop,” she wrote.
