One person in critical condition after being shot in incident involving Border Patrol in Arizona
NBC News ^ | 01/27/2026 | Mirna Alsharif, Laura Strickler and Andrew Blankstein

A person was shot in an incident involving U.S. Border Patrol in Arizona on Tuesday, according to a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesperson.

The individual, who has not been identified, was shot in southern Pima County near milepost 15 of West Arivaca Road at around 7:30 a.m., according to a news release from the Santa Rita Fire District. The fire department said it transported the person in critical condition.

The circumstances leading to the incident were not immediately clear. There is no information whether anyone from law enforcement was injured in the incident.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Crews from the Santa Rita Fire District and American Medical Response provided medical care to the individual on the scene, according to the news release.

"Patient care was transferred to a local medical helicopter for rapid transport to a regional trauma center," the fire department said. "The incident remains under active investigation by law enforcement agencies."

The Pima County Sheriff's Office and the FBI are assisting in the investigation. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This shooting comes just three days after Border Patrol fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and weeks after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Good. Pretti and Good's killings have triggered citywide protests and garnered criticism of the DHS, including calls for Secretary Kristi Noem's firing.

But the headlines are there. This is the media's new "shark week".

These events are planned and orchestrated by the cabal.

How many US Citizens were killed by illegal immigrants and illegal drugs brought in by illegal immigrants during this time period?

“These events are planned and orchestrated by the cabal.”

Yesterday’s administration talking point was that there were no issues in other states, only Minnesota.

I looked at my spouse and said, “brace yourself for another innocent rioter getting shot in a location other than Minnesota.”

You knew what was going to happen before it happened.

These events are all part of the information war. Now they’re trying to claim we have DHS guys siding with the communist narrative.

The target is not a physical object. The target is our belief.

Would NBC useless News publish a story saying “A man was shot by Pima County Sheriff’s Department officer”. NOTHING further?

More people are shot in a day by criminals than ICE has shot in a year.

Another rioter acting as directed by his Democrat masters? Just yesterday the top rat law official of AZ indicated that ICE detentions could be stopped by force. Perhaps someone took her word for it.

Hard to quantify but several orders of magnitude grater than 2.

I don’t see any concern from NBC that the person shot might be from the Border Patrol.

“”But the headlines are there. This is the media’s new “shark week”.””

***

Shark week and shiny squirrel object distraction.

And... it’s almost like these useful idiots of the left have been instructed to act all uppity with law enforcement everywhere. I expect all of this will ramp up as we get closer to November. It’s really all they’ve got to work with.

Given the location of where this happened, I have to assume that it was much more likely a Drug Smuggler evading arrest, than a protester......

Or perhaps a Cartel Courier bringing Kartel Katie (Hobbs) and Kartel Kris (Mayes) their weekly payoff.
