"The agent will be required to give up his agency-issued weapon until the conclusion of the investigation, Salinas said."

Amazing!

Hmm, window of opportunity to kill the only witness. Hope he has more guns of his own.

“Investigators with the Laredo Police Department are working to determine if the agent was justified in firing the shots”

This is absolutely ridiculous. These guys are burglarizing the agent’s vehicle. Texas law recognizes a person’s right to defend life and property. What’s to determine? Seems like a waste of government resources to investigate this one to death. Go out and catch some more perps...

Please , please don’t tell Buuush.

Sounds to me like this agent needs a bit more range time, and perhaps a more effective caliber...

[Tuba Guy]

Wait ‘till Johnny Sutton gets hold of this ......

I guess 4-to-1 odds confronting those involved in a crime is not justification when someone starts a vehicle, which can be used as a deadly weapon. As soon as Johnny Sutton finds about this the agent will be branded a racist and crucified.

"The agent will be required to give up his agency-issued weapon until the conclusion of the investigation, Salinas said."

It's Texas, if he doesn't have one, which is very doubtful, he could have gotten one latter Saturday afternoon, and possibly today at some places. A quick search on Yahoo yellow pages shows 12 places to buy guns in Laredo. And that doesn't count WalMart, which doesn't sell handguns, but does sell shotguns and rifles. It also doesn't count Academy Sports, which does sell handguns.

He'll not have any problem rearming.

Don’t worry. Bush will but the border guard in prison.
