CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) -- A U.S. Border Patrol agent fatally shot a 15-year-old Mexican boy after a group trying to illegally enter Texas threw rocks at officers at an international bridge near downtown El Paso, U.S. authorities said Tuesday.
The shooting, which happened Monday evening, drew sharp criticism from Mexico, where the government said Tuesday that "the use of firearms to repel attacks with stones represents disproportionate use of force.....

I’m not angry at all, at least, not about this.
Claymores......
Are you really that cold?
Should our agents return rocks for rocks? Exploding rocks, maybe.
I'm surprised that anything was left of the body if he was shot point blank by a 40-MM cannon.
A stone will kill you as dead as you can get!
One can get stoned to death in the middle-east.
Mexicans are supposed to be Catholic. Have they never read the bible?
You don't have to be cold to have a good laugh.
The best part of this is the Mexican illegals throwing rocks didn't manage to kill an American.
This BP agent’s life was in danger from men illegally entering this country.
Rocks do kill..
They had better find this a righteous kill or the PB union should have a massive sick in
Why would anyone want that thankless and dangerous job ??
We need a second heavy armor training reservation near the Arizona and Mexico border. This would be a live fire training facility with air and land coordination.
15 year olds are just as capable of causing harm as anyone. Shoot them all.
Probably a fair competitor in tight quarters with the standard issue RPG so many Arabs are found wandering around carrying.
Napalm work’s better.
Who cares? Throw rocks at cops you are going to get shot and well you should be. This could have been prevented in two ways, first they could have stayed on their side of the frickin’ border, secondly they could have refrained from throwing the rocks.
When it comes to the invasion of my country by a Third World Invader .. YES!
Here is Cold: My solution to this Mexican invasion would be .. Catch an Invader coming across the border .. Call all of the broadcast stations and do a public execution!
I would then give the warning that Everyone in this country illegally or those trying to get here Illegally .. Will suffer the same consequences!
I'd be willing to bet that the Invasion and Takeover of America by Mexico would end!
Journalists don’t know dick about firearms and they make sh** up. They think all bore sizes are in MM. I bet carrying that 40 MM cannon was tiring to the BP agent. Maybe it was mounted on a Jeep?
Should have shot every last one of them. If we shot every invader, how many would dare to follow?
