(CNN) -- A manhunt is on after at least two law enforcement officers -- including an Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent -- were shot on duty Friday in Northern California, authorities said.

The member of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit was working alongside local police in Roseville -- a community about 20 miles northeast of Sacramento -- when he was shot shortly after 3 p.m. (6 p.m. ET), ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said.

The wounded federal special agent was rushed to a local hospital, where he was reported to be stable and alert a few hours later, according to Kice.

At least one other law enforcement officer -- believed to be a Roseville police officer -- was also shot, according to a police dispatcher.

But it was not immediately known whether that took place during the initial 3 p.m. encounter or during the subsequent manhunt, nor was this officer's condition known.

No arrests had been made by 5:40 p.m. (8:40 p.m.), by which time law enforcement officers from various agencies had converged on the scene. Among those arriving were more ICE agents, according to Kice.
