Border Patrol investigating shooting in El Paso involving 1 agent

The Associated Press

EL PASO, Texas — Border Patrol officials are investigating a shooting at the Mexican border that involved one of their agents.

Doug Mosier, a spokesman for the Border Patrol's El Paso Sector, said an agent fired at least one shot at a group of would-be immigrants Tuesday night during a confrontation along the border near downtown El Paso.

The agent fired at least one shot after some of the immigrants began throwing rocks at him, narrowly missing the agent's head, Mosier said.

The immigrants ran from the border after the agent fired. Border Patrol officials do not believe anyone was injured, Mosier said.

The shooting is under investigation, though Mosier said initial reports show the agent fired in self-defense.

Last month a Border Patrol agent shot and killed a Mexican national in Arizona, drawing criticism from Mexico's president. The Border Patrol has said the agent thought his life was in danger and placed him on paid administrative leave.
