SOUTH OF ALAMO – Border Patrol agents come under automatic weapons fire from across the Rio Grande after finding a truck being loaded with drugs at the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge south of Alamo.
No agents were injured in the exchange. All Border Patrol agents in the area, as well as all local law enforcement agencies responded to the scene. It is unknown if agents were able to wound their attackers across the border.

Good Lord how could the truck get away???!!! The agents need to be trained to STOP a truck in a situation where gun play is involved. That means trained to shoot the living daylights out of the truck.

God, I hope it wasn't just with their 40's. Besides, I bet the Bush Whitehouse is pissed they even fired back.

Mexican border ping.
If the illegals are starting to become hostile, then there can be NO excuses for increasing border security.

I'm sure they didn't have anything nearly matching the AUTOMATIC WEAPONS that were being fired at them.
O'Reilly had better be screaming bloody murder about this tommorow or I will be very upset.

Sure is, Fox has the gall to complain about us beefing up our security, when his people fire at American Citizens from across the border.
