An active shooter reportedly tried to kill Border Patrol agents near an annex facility in McAllen, TX.
Three law enforcement sources told Fox News’ Bill Melugin that the gunman attempted to ambush Border Patrol agents as they arrived at the facility.
“Local police and federal agents returned fire, killing him,” Melugin wrote in a post on X. “I’m told this was a purposeful ambush/attack against federal agents and a press conference is planned for later this morning. No federal agents injured. Im told a McAllen police officer may have been shot, but is in stable condition.”
This incident comes days after a North Texas police officer was shot in the neck on Friday outside of an ICE facility in Alvarado, TX. Officers responded to reports of a suspicious person around 11 p.m. The individual was believed to have been armed, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
When the officers tried to engage with the suspect, multiple gunmen opened fire. The officer was airlifted to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, where he was treated for the wound and then released. The sheriff’s office said the motive for the shooting was “unclear.”
Police arrested eight people in connection with the confrontation. Some of the individuals were clad in body armor. The group consisted of “more than a dozen people, wearing masks and black clothing,” the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. They allegedly vandalized vehicles and security cameras before setting off fireworks to “lure officers to the scene.”
These incidents come at a time when rhetoric against immigration enforcement agencies and President Donald Trump’s immigration policies has become increasingly heated.
Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) referred to ICE agents as “vigilantes” who are “kidnapping” people.
There have been multiple protests at ICE facilities. Protesters have clashed with ICE agents and local law enforcement on several occasions.
Charge them all for the vehicles and everything else they vandalized/destroyed. They are stealing from taxpayers and they better pay us back.
Also attempted murder and assault on a LEO. Enjoy your summer prison yard fun boys.
Balint is a POS.
Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vermonster) also refers to illegal aliens as "a** wipers" for liberals. She's a filthy mouthed roll of toilet paper.
Yes, jail time.
But personal funds should be garnished if necessary so that these people are financially ruined for stealing from the taxpayers.
The politicians who are making all these wild claims about ICE and CBP need to be asked point-blank if they consider stealing from the taxpayers to be acceptable. If they say yes then their wages should be garnished as well, to pay back the taxypayers from the theft that they encouraged.
FAFO!
If they want war, they’ll get war.
And they’ll die.
McAllen is on the border near the southern tip of Texas.
Alvarado, where 8 armed people attacked the police at an ICE center and shot one in the neck, is a few miles south of Fort Worth.
Active Shooter Killed.........now ‘Inactive Shooter’..............
When the suspected shooter is dead, how can he be an active shooter?
The previous referenced incident seems like ANTIFA larpers/true believers. I can’t imagine the cartels being so brazen.
"Tactical Gear"? Looks like he was wearing shorts - of course, maybe he's a Brit...
We all fell in love with McAllen after eating their MREs (Meals Rejected by Ethiopia) during Desert Shield/Storm.
black Nikes count
DNC inspired “Active shooter” successfully made inactive and eliminated!
Dems want blood, they got some.
That’s more like it!
