Five illegal immigrants armed with at least two AK-47 semi-automatic assault rifles were hunting for U.S. Border Patrol agents near a desert watering hole known as Mesquite Seep just north of the Arizona-Mexico border when a firefight erupted and one U.S. agent was killed, records show.

Mexicans were ‘patrolling’ when agent was slain, indictment says

Bean bags.

God help us.

All of the sudden "sharks with friggin lasers" sounds more logical.

Create a zone. Shoot first.

Why do we not have a heavily armed U.S. military presence on the border with Mexico?

...The FBI declined to comment.

Thank God the Washington Times is staying on this tragic story.

Lets hope they’re humane...

“I can’t feel my legs,” Terry told one of the agents who cradled him. “I think I’m paralyzed.”

Bleeding profusely, he died at the scene.

There are Newt Gingrich supporters on the debate thread that would have us surrender to these thugs.

When Is The Impeachment?

[GeronL]

Your criticsms are all heartless and inhumane. /sarc

In the Terry killing, two Romanian-built AK-47 assault rifles found at the scene were identified as having been purchased in a Glendale, Ariz., gun shop as part of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) failed Fast and Furious investigation.

FUBO!!!

[SatinDoll]

Yeah, Newt really stepped in it this time on the illegal alien issue. He is toast.

[granite]

At least one of the Mexicans opened fire and, according to the affidavit,Terry, a 40-year-old former U.S. Marine, was shot in the back.

Because that would be lacking compassion and inhumane

Signed,

Both political parties

Bean bag rounds. Whoever was dumb enough to have those guys out there with bean bag rounds deserves to be fired. The sector chief there was swapped out after this happened, but it wasn't publicly announced as a result of this incident.

I wonder where in the BP use of force policy it says that a lethal threat is supposed to be met with less than lethal force? (I know it doesn't.)

The Mexicans are coming after our guys and because it doesn't work well with the political meme, of either party, they pretend it isn't happening. "As safe as it's ever been."

[icwhatudo]

We fired beanbags at them? How heartless and inhumane!

Why do we not have a heavily armed U.S. military presence on the border with Mexico?

Because el Presidente' Jorge W. Boosh did not think so after 9/11, si'?

Do I win prize now, senor' Rabscuttle? Do I win green card?

Thanks granite.
