"U.S. authorities fired on by border bandits"
July 13,2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "DONNA — Bandits shot hundreds of rounds of automatic gun fire at Hidalgo County Sheriff’s deputies and Border Patrol agents Wednesday from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande.

The deputies were responding to a call from two brothers who swam across the river after an initial gunfight at a ranch in Mexico, Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño said.

Treviño would not identify the two brothers, but said the two U.S. citizens are suspects in other criminal investigations."



ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "At least three deputies and four Border Patrol agents took the two brothers back to the riverbank to see if they might find any evidence or the shooters.

Instead, shooters from Mexico fired automatic weapons at the group. The barrage went on for almost 10 minutes, alternating between shots coming from Mexico and the east.

Treviño believes that the shots from the east were most likely on American soil. The heaviest gunfire came after the shots from the east ended, most likely an attempt to divert attention and allow the shooters from the east to cross back."
