CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Pointing their rifles, Mexican security forces chased away U.S. authorities investigating the shooting of a 15-year-old Mexican by a U.S. Border Patrol agent on the banks of the Rio Grande, the FBI and witnesses told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The killing of the Mexican by U.S. authorities — the second in less than two weeks — has exposed the distrust between the two countries that lies just below the surface, and has enraged Mexicans who see the death of the boy on Mexican soil as an act of murder.
Shortly after the boy was shot, Mexican soldiers arrived at the scene and pointed their guns at the Border Patrol agents across the riverbank while bystanders screamed insults and hurled rocks and firecrackers, FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons said. She said the agents were forced to withdraw.
"It pretty quickly got very intense over on the Mexican side," she said, adding that FBI agents showed up later and resumed the investigation, even as Mexican authorities pointed guns at them from across the river.

This is the easiest invasion since the Sudetenlands
One of these days we’re going to wake up and find that Mexico has siezed an American city or county and the Obama administration is trying to negotiate a peaceful resolution.
A nice big fence makes good neighbors.
Great opportunity to escalate this to a state far more “clarified” than it is now.
The strongest nation in the world, being held hostage at and retreating from her own borders by two bit thugs across a river.
New idea, lets create a 1-mile kill zone. Fill it with landmines, constant CAP by drones and NG units, backed up by a good border fence that includes regularly spaced towers for enforcement.
Playing nice and expecting that armpit of a nation to our south to get on board hasn't worked. Time for a change in plans...
Just here for a "better life"-----illegal parasites itemize why
they oppose Arizona's law at Phoenix protest, May 29, 2010.
Odd that Mehican prez Calderon did not tell the Congress all o' that.
Guess he knew he wouldn't get a standing ovation (/snix).
Zachary Taylor should have just kept on going....
Put up one of those big concrete walls then we don’t have to worry about it. Have army bases at each legal crossing point.
Geez, there seems to be more Mexican troops on the border than we have. How can they afford this and we can’t? What is their mission? Stop illegal Americans from entering Mexico? Or help Mexicans cross into the USA?
What’s crazy is... that’s not crazy.
That could seriously happen.
“REGULATORS...Mount up””
The Mexicans, their president included, think they are fighting a war against fools who don’t even know war is being waged. So far, we’ve proved them right.
Once upon a time Mexico would never consider such action.
Time for America to install a leader and get rid of this Anti-American wanna be.
Love it! Too bad O would never even think of considering it...
