Border Patrol Agent Attacked From Mexican Side Of Border

A Border Patrol agent was apparently shot at from the Mexican side of the border while on patrol. The gunfire struck the agents vehicle but no injuries were reported.

According to The LA Times:

A Border Patrol agent was shot at early Sunday morning while sitting in his marked patrol car just north of the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said.

The gunfire occurred about 2:15 a.m. a mile and a half west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, according to William Rogers, supervisory Border Patrol agent with the San Diego Sector. At least two bullets struck the driver’s side of the vehicle, but the agent was not injured and immediately drove to a safer location.

Authorities said the gunfire appeared to have come from the Mexican side of the border. Mexican authorities responded and initially detained two people. One had a handgun, while the second person was released. Neither was identified.

The FBI is investigating the shooting.

It is unclear what if any charges the man that was caught with the gun will face related to the attack.
