"Two U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers fired at an adult male Tuesday when he attempted to run them over with a pick-up truck at the Mariposa Port of Entry.

Felt threatened"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The person driving a vehicle was asked to pull in for inspection. He refused to stop and attempted to hit the officers as he crossed over to the southbound lanes and fled back into Mexico, Kissinger said.

No injuries were reported and the officers were not hurt, Levin said. He added that the incident did not affect the public. CBP did not shut down the port or stop traffic.

Levin said the port was not closed during the shooting, "Because it all happened within the space of a very short time and was in an area where the public was not at risk," he said. The shooting was in the southbound lanes.

The Nogales Police Department is the lead agency investigating the incident with cooperation from CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
