Tucson, Arizona | Published: 06.15.2006
Several Border Patrol agents were fired upon Wednesday evening in Nogales while
responding to a call about a vehicle that was entering the country without
going through a port of entry, an official said Thursday.
Around 7 p.m. Border Patrol agents responded to a report of a silver
Mercedes sport utility vehicle driving through the desert in Nogales, said
Jesus Rodriguez, a spokesman for the agency's Tucson Sector.
As the agents neared the SUV, they were fired upon, he said. One patrol
vehicle took rounds to the windshield and the body.
The agent in that vehicle fired back as did another agent in a separate
vehicle, he said.
No agents were injured and it was unclear if any of the suspects were hit,
Rodriguez said.
The SUV was abandoned and three people were seen running from that general
area, he said. Inside the SUV, agents discovered 700 pounds of what appears
to be marijuana.
The Nogales Police Department apprehended one person who may be involved
with the incident, Rodriguez said.
The names of the agents involved in the shooting were not released Thursday
morning.
