I guess that the late agent got a good shot in. May he rest in peace.
Prayers for Mr. Rosas and his family.
May the Lord make them strong so they can deal with this difficult situation.
Two border agents shoot a drug dealer trying to escape back into Mexico, they get jail time, the dealer gets immunity.

Killer of Border Patrol agent may be injured
By GILLIAN FLACCUS (AP) – 3 hours ago
[snip]— At least one suspect wanted for the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent was probably injured significantly during the attack and may seek medical attention on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said Friday.
Investigators are checking hospitals and medical facilities in hopes of finding whoever shot and killed Agent Robert Wimer Ramos, 30, late Thursday, said Keith Slotter, special agent in charge with the FBI’s San Diego bureau.
Ramos, a married father of two young children, was shot shortly after 9 p.m. while responding to a call near Campo, a town in rugged, arid terrain in southeastern San Diego County.
He was shot in the head and multiple times in his body and was dead when backup agents arrived, Slotter said.
Ramos was found outside his patrol vehicle, with blood evidence indicating at least one suspect and possibly more had serious injuries, perhaps by gunfire.
Investigators said there were searching for at least two suspects.
There was no evidence of drugs at the scene, but investigators were not ruling out anything, including an attack by drug smugglers or human smugglers.
Rosas, a three-year Border Patrol veteran, had a 2-year-old son and an 11-month-old daughter, Barlow said.
“Everybody’s digested, disgusted that a criminal can do this,” Barlow said. “The violence against the agents, the violence against this country is something that should not, and will not, be tolerated.”
Barlow said he could not confirm reports that Rosas called for backup and then went ahead before anyone arrived. But he said it isn’t unusual for agents to work alone along the 60 miles of border in the San Diego sector.
“It is a common occurrence for our agents to start tracking individuals or start pursuing individuals that make an incursion into the United State by himself prior to backup arriving,” he said.
Barlow said the area where Rosas was shot wasn’t the highest priority for agents, but there had recently been areas of increased activity.
.....Still, Barlow said, agents routinely have rocks thrown at them and are physically assaulted.
The president of the union representing 17,000 Border Patrol agents declined to discuss the details of the shooting but said his organization has long been concerned about staffing levels and situations where agents work alone in the field

Border Patrol flags are at half staff to mourn the shooting death of Agent Robert Rosas. His lifelong friend Robert Martinez remembers he felt “disbelief, shock, empty” when he heard the news. “He was like my little brother,” Martinez says.
The El Centro man’s life was tragically cut short. Thursday night at around 9:15 p.m., Rosas was tracking a group of illegal immigrants near the Campo station when they split into two groups. Soon after, Rosas was shot multiple times, even in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Rosas was just 30 years old. He was a beloved son, brother and husband. Rosas leaves behind two young children — a one year old girl and two year old boy.
Martinez called Rosas a “dedicated” family man. The friend remembers how “he always talked about how much he loved his family, his siblings, his mother.”
Martinez was designated as the family spokesman, and says “they’re in shock and denial ... it comes in waves. They remember the good times and there’s times when it homes, they break down.”
But Rosas died doing what he loved. Becoming a Border Patrol agent was a lifelong dream for the El Centro man. Martinez says “”there was something about Border Patrol that he had a passion for ... he wanted to be a Border Patrol agent since he was young.” To advance in his career, Rosas was a Corrections Officer at Centinela State Prison and a Reservist Police Officer with the El Centro Police Department.

Why does your quote call him Ramos and then later call him Rosas?
“Why does your quote call him Ramos and then later call him Rosas?”
You’ll have to ask the author of the article....
“Why does your quote”....
Why is the only comment you make about this tragedy is to pick at a typo made by someone else other than me?
