Authorities have not identified the agents who were assigned to the Naco station, about 100 miles southeast of Tucson.

The border patrol station in Naco was recently named after Terry.

Bill: Name BP's Naco station after slain Agt. Brian Terry

A bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives would name the Border Patrol's Naco station after Agt. Brian Terry, who was killed while patrolling near Rio Rico in December.

The proposed change, introduced late Wednesday by California GOP Rep. Darrell Issa and Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, was welcomed by the office of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a Thursday news release.

“Brian Terry died protecting the men and women of Southern Arizona,” said Pia Carusone, Giffords' chief of staff.

“Naming the Border Patrol station in Naco after him is a fitting tribute to someone who paid the ultimate price in the service of his country.”

Terry was based at the Naco station.
