Two Maricopa County sheriff's deputies were shot Thursday during the serving of a search warrant in east Mesa. A suspect was shot by a third deputy.

Deputy Sean Pearce, who is the son of Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, was shot in the abdomen. He was flown to Maricopa Medical Center in Phoenix, where he underwent surgery to remove part of his large intestine. Deputy Lew Argetsinger was shot in the hand and taken by ambulance to the medical center. Both were stable.

The suspect, Jorge Luis Guerra Vargas, 22, was flown to Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix with nonlife-threatening facial injuries.

According to authorities, detectives with the Pinal County Sheriff's Office wanted to execute a search warrant at the mobile home of a homicide’s investigative lead, but asked Maricopa County SWAT team members to enter first to ensure their safety.

Lt. Dave Trombi said seven members of the team knocked on the door at 111 S. 91st Way at 6:35 a.m., announced their presence in English and Spanish, then broke through the door. They were a short distance inside when a subject opened fire.

Both deputies shot were wearing ballistic body armor, but Pearce was struck in an unprotected spot, Trombi said.

A third deputy returned fire on GuerraVargas, who was alone in the home, Trombi said.

Pinal County Sheriff's Office spokesman Mike Minter said detectives had hoped to obtain evidence pertaining to a recent homicide in Hewlitt Station, a community near Queen Valley.

A hunter called deputies Dec. 5 after he found a body with a gunshot wound to the head buried under a pile of scrap lumber, Minter said.

Investigators found fresh tire tracks on the scene, and the clue led authorities to the mobile home.

Esteban Soto, the investigative lead in the case, was found Thursday in New Mexico and is being detained for questioning there.

Deputies are still working to identify the body, which is described as a 20- to 25-year-old Hispanic male.

Pearce has been on the force for 11 years, Deputy Argetsinger for three years.

Rep. Pearce, said he was in Washington, D.C., testifying on an immigration panel when he was told his son had been shot.

"He is feisty. He will do well," he said. "I guarantee that the moment he is allowed back, he will put that uniform on and be out there doing police work."

Russell Pearce also was shot in the chest and hand in the line of duty about 20 years ago while chasing gang members in Guadalupe.

Efforts to contact Argetsinger's family were unsuccessful.

"the border between Ohio and Indiana" is not one between countries.

For a look at what open borders between countries means, check out the way Muslims are able to infiltrate into Europe now that they have open borders. We do not live in a perfect world and we never will live in a perfect world. We need to stop illegal immigration in its tracks and we could do so if we had the will. People like you are doing your best to make sure that we never have the will.

I'm neither a RINOOBL or against securing our borders.

maaaaaaaaa maaaaaaaaaaaaa maaaaaaaaaaa maaaaaaaaaaa

I guess not, so next time we will say COMPASSIONATE(NEW WORD FOR RINOOBL)

"our laws are crazy"

No you are crazy. Our laws are fine.

We have "illegal" and "legal" immigration just like we have "illegal" and "legal" bank withdrawals, depending on whether or not one uses a withdrawal slip or a stickup note to make the withdrawal.

Uh, why no vitriol for the Founding Fathers.

JMO, if you were a delegate at the Constitutional Covention in 1787, you would have insisted for an article stating, all borders between states must be three times higher than Hadrians wall.

"I didn't misunderstand anything."

She admits being dishonest deliberately.

[cyncooper]

What did I say that would indicate I'm not a conservative Republican and whatever did I say (hint: nothing) that would be against securing the borders and arresting illegals?

Good luck looking for the non-existant post.

[cyncooper]

You really are a flat out idiot.

A malicious stupid small minded fool.

[Max Combined]

"the methods and the results are identical."

It sure seems as though you are correct, since those intellectually dishonest methods are the only ones used to date on this thread.

[Max Combined]

"You are a mind reader now?"

Apparently they are all mind readers, because all they do is make up evil stuff and then attribute such evil to their opponents without a single shred of evidence.

cyncooper to Travis McGee (Post #130)

The only race-baiters are people like....you.

An otherwise sensible and smart person.

Believe me, the cover story that you're really just concerned about "illegals" doesn't pass the fact test.

Calling us NATIONALISTS(people who want to protect and preserve our BORDERS, LANGUAGE, and CULTURE) as RACISTS/XENOPHOBES.

"upset and anger, over a cop being shot by a person with a hispanic name"

I know that I am upset over a cop being shot by a person who is already in this country illegally. That fact this illegal alien happens to have an Hispanic name is besides the point to everyone but you.

Since the fellow named Johnson was not an illegal alien, there is no equivalence between the outrage generated by the two crimes.

In addition, the fact that one does not happen to post on a particular thread proves nothing. If it did, I could find some thread upon which you did not post and make the point that you were thus not opposed to the topic of that thread.

[Max Combined]

"Uh no Travis, they could be charged with rape and murder crimes, the exception would be you wouldn't have cover to do a jesse jackson and blame a whole ethnicty for the actions of one."

This is a continuing theme, but you post no evidence that Travis McGee has ever blamed a whole ethnicity for the actions of one. Thus, you are a despicable race baiter.

[cyncooper]

What is with your comprehension problem?

First you absurdly address me with repeated "maaaaa" regarding a post I made that by no stretch could be construed as whining or complaining, That was strange enough.

But now you assign to me words I never said.

All very odd. You might want to address that problem you have.

[nanak]

CHECK YOUR POST # 130

[cyncooper]

What about it?

As I said, evidently you (along with several of your compadres on this thread) have a severe comprehension problem and it appears that those who like to instruct others on how to read a thread need to review how it's done themselves. I was echoing a point made by the other poster and not accusing him of anything. Sorry you don't understand English (still and always will be the primary language of the land).

I am content with opinions that reflect mine as has been posted on these threads: RUSH LIMBAUGH, TERRY JEFFRIES; WM F. BUCKLEY, MICHELLE MALKIN, JAMES INHOFE.

Don't forget Tom Tancredo, Laura Ingraham, and Ann Coulter...oh, I'm in there too!

IS NAME CALLING PERMITTED ON THIS FORUM OR NOT???

[cyncooper]

Gee, I guess you missed the posts directed at me before I made my spot on observations.

As to you, take a chill pill.

"Excerpt from email from Arizona Rep. Russell Pearce
December 18 -- I was in Washington DC as an invite by the Brookings Institute to participate this last Thursday (12/16/04) on an immigration panel to debate the national policy on immigration (mostly on children, but certainly extended to the entire issue of legal, illegal, benefits and the impact on America, etc.) and while on the panel, I was interrupted and given a message to call LuAnne in reference to an emergency at home. I called to find out my son Sean had been shot while executing a search warrant on a home for homicide suspects, and was being flown by helicopter to the hospital. I later learned the suspects and the shooter were illegal aliens and had been issued matricula cards so they could get services in the United States."

You would have only had to wade through 10 posts to learn your answer.

There are more republicans that agree with us than don't. A lot more and that's what is upsetting the OBL cheerleaders here.

OBL= Open Border Lobby
