“Why aren’t all of the shooters dead?”

They may have only been firing warning shots (no one was injured).

The Narcos outnumbered the Border Patrol, and were on land, where they could take cover and hide from view. The Border Patrol Officers were exposed like sitting ducks in the open water.

God only knows how many kids or other civilians might have been in the bushes at the time as well.

The article clearly states the BP boat has holes in it. Poor aim should not be confused with warning shots.

Tough noogies. Don’t hang out with people who shoot at cops and you’ll have nothing to worry about. Personally I think a few bullet ridden corpses on the Mexican side of the river would send a very strong message.
