The incident began about 10 p.m. Tuesday when a citizen called in a tip about a large group of apparent ILLEGAL immigrants who were seen getting in the motor home several miles west of Yuma. I just thought that needed a little clarification.

Agents were unaware they had been shot at...

And if the BP had shot and killed the punk in a gunfight, La Raza would be calling them nazis.

Hopefully they'll toss this "US Citizen" into the can for a very long time.

But they didn't shoot back? The article says they didn't know they had been shot at. A .22 makes little noise, and the flash signature is no generally particularly visible in daylight. (Although more for a pistol than a rifle). The sound of a breaking tail light lens is going to be lost in the general road noise.

no doubt on orders to be deaf, dumb, and blind! Not much experience being around folks shooting .22s outdoors? Add road noise, and dust to suppress what little signature a .22 has to being with, and I doubt you'd notice it either, in the middle of a road chase.

The .22's I have shot are pretty loud. Have to wear earmuffs when shooting .22 pistols. .22 rifles make a pretty good crack too.
Maybe they weren't paying attention or something. I really don't see how this could happen.

Seriously, it's amazing that violence has been relatively low considering the ongoing Mexican Army drug-smuggling incursions, illegals throwing rocks at the BPs, coyotes driving like lunatics in the wrong lanes...

It depends on which velocity your shooting. High Vels make a pretty good crack as they're supersonic. Standard vels are nearly so loud as they're usually just under 1000 fps.
But still, cranking a round or two off in a motorhome you would sure think someone would have heard that! Well, maybe the sound of a dozen of so screaming illegals would cover it up...

Well, if the muzzle of the gun was inside the motorhome and the guy was shooting out of an open window, that would help muffle the sound. If standard velocity was used, like you say, those are quieter. And if a big truck or two were zooming by when the gun went off, it would help drown out the sound. Not impossible for all these situations to happen.

The casualties are low because the USBP has standing orders to run away and let these criminals do what they want.
