Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Chihuahua Attorney General's office, said a spent 40-mm shell was found near the body — raising the question of whether the fatal shot was fired inside Mexico, although he did not explicitly make that suggestion. That would violate the rules for Border Patrol agents, who are supposed to stay on the U.S. side of the border.

I'm surprised that anything was left of the body if he was shot point blank by a 40-MM cannon.

40MM would definitely do the job ~ looking things up I found this little honey, a "40mm Pistol Grenade Launcher"

Probably a fair competitor in tight quarters with the standard issue RPG so many Arabs are found wandering around carrying.

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?
