Law enforcement from the United States and Mexico are working together to figure out who the suspects of these separate shootings are.
SAN DIEGO — Border Patrol agents stationed at the San Ysidro port of entry have reported two shootings that happened recently nearby the U.S.-Mexico border.
Agents told everyone in the area, including the boy and first responders giving him attention, to take cover. CBP dispatched a helicopter to provide air cover as it sent members of its special response team. Border Patrol also requested help from Mexican law enforcement, since agents determined the shots were fired from south of the border.
"This is another example of the inherent dangers that agents face every day.” said Heitke. “We are taking these events very seriously and are working with law enforcement partners in the U.S. and Mexico to identify the source of the gunfire.”
