Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials say one of their agents shot and killed an illegal immigrant after the agent came under attack.
An agent responding to a call about alleged illegal activity in the Rio Bravo area near Laredo came upon a group of illegal aliens. A statement provided by Laredo Sector officials said the agent came under attack by “multiple subjects using blunt objects.”
The agent managed to draw his service-issued firearm and fire on the attackers, officials stated. The agent fired at least one round that struck and killed one of his alleged attackers. The remaining illegal aliens fled the scene.
Border Patrol agents quickly called for an ambulance and provided emergency medical attention until the Rio Bravo Fire Department arrived on the scene. It is has not been reported if the illegal alien died at the scene or in a hospital.
The agent’s condition has also not been revealed. It is not known, at this time, if the agent sustained any injuries from the attack by multiple assailants using “blunt objects.”
Border Patrol agents rounded up at least three of the other illegal aliens involved in the incident. Texas Rangers and agents from the FBI are conducting the investigation into the agent-involved shooting. While not commenting directly on this case, Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza told Breitbart Texas Wednesday afternoon that the Rio Bravo area is an extremely busy drug and human smuggling corridor. Garza spoke to Breitbart Texas in his capacity as National Border Patrol Council Local 2455 president.
“Assaults on Border Patrol agents are common in this area,” Garza said. “The smugglers that operate in this area are known to instruct illegal aliens to resist and assault agents.”

Rushing an armed person with blunt objects?
Sounds lake a pack of dogs who all flee when one is killed. Sounds like animals to me.
That is an insult to animals!
Has MSNBC said he was just trying to give up yet?
he was trying to protect the agent from the russians/s
Ok? IMO, bill his family for the bullet.
That’s a Hate crime /s
Was he following Comey-Mueller orders to take out Republicans using any means?
There goes his college scholarship!
Maybe his free college scholarship can go to his chilrens who have not been released from foreign jail yet so they are not here just yet. The MS-213 tattoos should help them with admission.
The BP agent should have just left the body lying there. ‘Cuz buzzards gotta eat, too!
Palestinians do it all the time. Remember that’s a loaded rock or knife they’re holding. Never, I mean never bring ( loaded or not) rocks and knives to a gun fight. It’s and old Israeli saying.
Good
Shoot more of them
Trump should give them new rules of engagement—anyone resists, shoot to kill. Do not let these illegal alien invaders get away with attacking Americans, especially our law enforcement officers.
Remember: they were already breaking the law by being there.
You can’t allow this stuff to escalate. They attack, you attack harder. This is an assault on America.
Don’t attack armed guards. Anywhere on earth.
Being attacked by multiple criminals requires a response with a firearm that fires multiple bullets automatically.
