A Border Patrol agent fired Saturday at a vehicle that was driving toward him, an official said.

It was unclear if anyone was injured during Saturday's shooting near Arivaca, said Jesus Rod-riguez, spokesman for the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector. He gave this account:

Around 1 p.m., Border Patrol agents on Arizona 286 near milepost 10 became suspicious of a northbound Lincoln Navigator and decided to stop it.

The vehicle appeared to come to a stop, so one agent got out of his vehicle and was preparing to approach it. The Navigator then quickly made a U-turn and was coming at the agent, so he fired his gun because he felt threatened, Rodriguez said.

The sport utility vehicle, which turned out to be stolen from Mesa, continued south without striking the agent but was soon stopped in Sasabe, near the border, he said.

Agents reported that the vehicle was full of drugs, Rodriguez said. Both occupants were taken into custody. Initial reports indicated at least one was injured, but Rodriguez said that had not been confirmed late Saturday.

Authorities were working to determine if the people inside the vehicle fired at the agent before the agent did because shots were heard shortly before. The agent's name was not released.
