MISSION - A preliminary investigation reveals Border Patrol agents may have hit one of the gunmen who fired at them this weekend.

The shooting happened Saturday morning. Border Patrol agents chased a vehicle to an area south of Mission. They say it was loaded with drugs. We’re told armed men in Mexico shot at Border Patrol agents traveling on a boat.

Agents returned fire. The Border Patrol agents were not injured. But FBI agents suspect one of the gunmen in Mexico was hit and possibly killed. This is based on preliminary information, which FBI agents will continue to follow up on today.

CHANNEL 5 NEWS will bring you the very latest updates on this investigation.

I hope I am wrong but it seems to me like the violence is increasing and it is only a matter of time until a BIG conflict occurs there (with the loss of a lot of American lives). I pray that I am wrong.

I suppose the agents will get in trouble for shooting someone on the other side of the border.

Me? I don’t have a problem with it. The Mexicans don’t think we ought to recognize our border; let’s reciprocate.

Stand by for the BP agent to be arrested and charged with murdering a Mexican national.

This is a war on our southern border. God bless and protect the BP agents, and all LE in this effort.

I would envision that it would explode in the form of a group of cartel members taking control of a small town on the American side of the border. Something like that would not end well, I'm afraid.

If there is a body, the charge is a $1.92.

“Something like that would not end well, I’m afraid.”

Yeah, under our current regime it end by 0bama apologizing to the cartel and allowing them to keep control of the town while we “negotiate.”

Just waiting for these agents to be charged with a crime.

You know if GWB would wrongfully convict BP Agents based on the word of an Illegal Alien Drug Dealer...Obama is bound to do something similar. Liberal America-Hating Globalists sure have no problem supporting Illegal Aliens over American law enforcement any day.
