U.S. Border Patrol agents on the American side of the Rio Grande were forced to take cover Friday night when high-caliber weaponry was fired at them from the Mexican side of the river, sources told FoxNews.com.
The weapons were fired at the U.S. side of the riverbank in the area of the Rincon Peninsula across the Rio Grande from Reynosa, Mexico, at about 8:30 p.m., sources said. Bullets ricocheted into an area where Border Patrol agents were positioned, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told FoxNews.com.
Border Patrol sources confirmed Gohmert’s account, and said the shots may have been fired by .50-caliber weapons.
“We don’t have any armor that can stop a .50-caliber round, so our Border Patrol agents had to take cover when the rounds were richocheting around them,” said Gohmert, who has been in the area for the last week to get a first-hand look at the border situation.

Send in the A-10s.
Definitely the wart hogs!
But 0 will yawn and just go golfing.
Another invasion, another day.
the Impostor Moslem Tyrant could not give a damn.
the hated, EXEMPT Congress could not give a damn.
The Border Patrol has a Union — when does it finally decide to go on strike over this matter???
Absolutely, the sooner the better.
Answer with a couple of hundred rounds from a Ma-Duce.
Ma-Duce Rules!
Probably weapons supplied by Eric Holder. Has Obama given the ‘STAND DOWN’ order to the Border Patrol yet? P*SSY Obama won’t do a damn thing about it.
Question:
The drug cartels trying to provoke a war so that the USA will attempt to overthrow the corrupt Mexican government and the drug cartels can then seize control?
If they go on strike the last meager line of defense collapses, all detained illegals will be released and the flood will increase by orders of magnitude.
obamma , kgb, muslims, we are under attack, obamma wont talk because it is his plan..fast and furious was one of thousands of shipments to arm the invasion force, they have been slipping in for decades.. if we cannot sector off areas with military our country is gone..
I think the most direct course of action would be to start running commercials asking all americans to disobey obammas orders, call him a traitor, and focus on the federal government removal of power through strikes and civil disobedience..block the borders of states
the federal gangsta is the cartel..just a game to confuse us..
Obama should have called out the National Guard the moment he heard this news and troops should be at the border almost immediately. Any thing less is dereliction of duty.
Or at least issue the BP agents Barrets with the authorization to return fire!
The Obungler probably gave the cartels the order to fire.
That’s what they are firing at us.
It’s 10 PM. Do you know where the President is or what he is doing?
The Republican governor of Texas can call out the National Guatd. What’s stopping him?
