Friendly fire likely was to blame in a shooting near the Arizona-Mexico line that killed one federal agent and wounded another, the FBI said, noting the investigation was still ongoing in the case that reignited the political debate over border security.

"There are strong preliminary indications that the death of United States Border Patrol Agent Nicholas J. Ivie and the injury to a second agent was the result of an accidental shooting incident involving only the agents," FBI Special Agent in Charge James L. Turgal Jr. said in a statement Friday.

Wait just a minute..........I thought they could only use beanbag rounds? Now they have live ammo?

[FredZarguna]

The FBI had originally planned to announce this was the result of a spontaneous demonstration brought on by the appearance of a Speedy Gonzales video on YouTube.

But the focus groups tested better with this flimsy story, so ...

Reeeeeeelly????!!!!

So two armed professionals walk twenty paces, do their version of a Mexican Standoff and then they both blinked??????

More Crappola! Mexico is ticked (rightly for a change!) about HOlders guns killing 200 plus of its citizens. From here on out, Obama is going to give them anything they want!

By “friendly fire” do they mean weapons the ATFE gave the Mexicans?

I wouldn’t believe the FBI about a case of stolen lunch money...they have become incompetent, politicized, and untrustworthy.

FBI Liers, covering up Holder.

Now they have live ammo?

Only when shooting at other Americans.

The same FBI whom took more than a week to get into the torched Libyan Consulate and spent an exhaustive 12 hours there?

Oopsy, obviously the money donated to Freep doesn't go to getting faster Servers. Having said that I couldn't for the life of me get into Freep during the debate. Not a good sign...can you imagine Election night?

Actually it took the FBI three weeks to get there, they stayed for only 12 hours.

I’m sure all the evidence was lying right where it was left the day of the attack, and all the suspects were waiting for them to make sure they could be interviewed.
