At around 9:30 p.m., the agents were told that reports indicated shots had been fired near the home of a “named individual” and a tribal officer went to the location to look for the person, with the agents following in separate cars, the statement said.

A few minutes after arriving, the police officer and the agents encountered a man outside of a home near their parked cars, authorities said.

The man threw some kind of object toward the officer that landed a few feet away from his feet and then “abruptly extended his right arm away from his body and three agents fired their service weapons, striking the individual several times,” according to the statement.

It is a strange one. An earlier report states he had contacted Border Patrol complaining about illegals on his land.

I won’t. I dislike armed thugs who are so concerned for their own safety that they shoot old women, small children, dogs, people obeying police COMMANDS and others just going about their lives. Police need to be held to the same legal standards you or I would but the kill and then somehow get to claim they are scared all the time while wearing body armor….

99% of the time police make things worse.

Wonder what the indian policeman has to say. Border Patrol are pretty much all we have left for honorable, decent federal law enforcement.

Oh, I agree.

I've just found most first stories are bullshit.

Like Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown were innocent, unarmed black children murdered by racist White men.
