LOS ANGELES, Jun 14, 2008 (Xinhua via COMTEX News Network) -- Gunfire in a Mexican border town forced at least three Mexicans to run across the U.S. border, authorities said on Saturday.

The Mexicans crossed the U.S. border in Campo to seek medical treatment after they were fired on in Mexico. Two of them were injured by the gunshots and the third sustains a broken arm, according to the Sheriff's Department in San Diego, about 128 kilometers south of Los Angeles.

Lt. Larry Nesbit of the Sheriff's Department said the department responded to a radio call of three gunshot victims along California highway 94 near the Mountain Empire Recreation Center.

Nesbit said one person was shot in the upper left leg and another sustained a bullet graze to the head, both victims were airlifted to a hospital. A third victim had a broken arm and was also taken to a hospital.

Nesbit said the shooting occurred about 10:40 p.m. local time Friday in Mexico. "We still don't know the motive for the shooting, " Nesbit said. No other victims were found after an aerial search. Further information about the three victims and their conditions was not known.

U.S. Border Patrol officials were unavailable to comment.

Whether the mexicans get shot or not, they’re still running for OUR borders (sigh)

I can't wait until Obama or McCain completely merge our homeland with the cesspool to our south.

It’s too late. Dubya accomplished that one already. At least as far as California is concerned.

What, about about their free national healthcare in Mexico?

California Proposition 187. The people of California tried to stop this madness in 1994 but one judge shot it down. And Gray Davis would not pursue it to the supreme court. Sad.

That puke Sutton wants us to believe that our Border Patrol shot a Mexican who ran away South.

Simply not to be believed. He was either shot or he ran away South, not both.

Good to hear you think California gets to set its own border policy.

There’s always a new excuse for “Family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande” Dubya.
