Border Patrol: U.S. Customs And Border Protection Brian A. Terry Border Patrol Station

U.S. Border Patrol Agent Dept: NACO, Ariz. - A Border Patrol agent was shot to death Tuesday in Arizona near the U.S.-Mexico line, the first fatal shooting of an agent since a deadly 2010 firefight with Mexican bandits that spawned congressional probes of a botched government gun-smuggling investigation, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Authorities have not identified the agent who was wounded, nor did they say whether any weapons were seized at the site of the shooting and hours after a U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot and killed, and one other was shot and injured, James Turgal, FBI Special Agent in Charge Phoenix, arrives to speak at a news conference at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Brian A.
