Authorities search for suspect who killed Border Patrol agent
LA Times ^ | July 24, 2009

Posted on 07/24/2009 1:14:47 PM PDT by La Lydia

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano released a statement this morning on the deadly shooting, identifying the agent as Robert Rosas...

...Napolitano said in the statement: "Agent Robert Rosas was gunned down while protecting our nation’s Southwest border. This act of violence will not stand — nor will any act of violence against the Border Patrol. I have directed that the full resources of the Department assist in the investigation to find and bring to justice those responsible for this inexcusable crime."]

A manhunt is going on this morning at the U.S.-Mexico border in eastern San Diego County for the gunman who shot a U.S. Border Patrol agent to death. Details were sketchy this morning, but the agent was fatally shot at about 9 p.m. Thursday in an area southeast of Campo. The agent, whose name has not been released, was patrolling the remote region with other agents when he got separated from them before the shooting, the FBI said. There were signs of a struggle and some of his gear was taken, investigators said.

What the heck is Janet planning to do? Have the UN send the dope runners a stern warning?

I'm sure the Coyote just told his mexicans to run for it, turned around and headed back south.

Good luck ever finding him, although he'll no doubt be back with another pack of “immigrants” in a couple of days.

I don’t think this was mojados, I think this was drugs. The coyotes do turn and run, the narcotraficantes don’t.

Seems to me, that, scummbag Klinton said the same thing when they bombed our embassy killing 200+ marines, and then, turned around and blew a hole in the side of the USS Cole killing 17 Navy personell. There’s just something in those words that just makes those terrorists start to tremble.....or could that be mistaken for uncontrollable laughter?

As a former Napolitano victim (AZ resident) what she is really saying is: okay if you find him, but if you shoot him your going to be like Ramos and Compean.

Hate to disagree, but narco guys run all the time.

They drop their load if it doesn't look like they can make a clean get away.

If they are in a vehicle, it is a sure bet they will try and run with the vehicle. . .usually crashes.

If on foot, they run by dropping the load.

The cartels don't like that, and if it looked like they dropped and ran too early, they pay for it.
