Smugglers shoot at border agents [South Texas]

SOUTH OF DONNA — Border Patrol agents investigating a possible drug smuggling operation encountered gunfire from the Mexican side of the border Tuesday morning. No one was hurt, an agency spokesman said.
The agents stopped around 7:30 a.m. just south of the intersection of Tower Road and Military Highway, after spotting a raft carrying marijuana floating near the U.S. side of the river, said Border Patrol spokesman Oscar Saldaña.
As the agents approached the bank, someone across the river fired several rounds, Saldaña said. The agents returned fire, but said later that they didn’t think they hit anyone.
Saldaña could not release a description of the shooters or say how many men may have been involved in the attack because they took cover in a brush patch. After the incident, agents retrieved 305 pounds of marijuana in four bundles from the U.S. side of the river.
This is the second attack in the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector this month. Two weeks ago, an agent came under attack from a suspected illegal immigrant throwing rocks near the Hidalgo-Reynosa port of entry. He sustained minor injuries, but his assailant fled to Mexico.
“We’ve been anticipating more incidents like this,” Saldaña said. “We have more people on the ground now, and with more people, you’re going to run into more things.” ____
