A man ambushed and opened fire on Border Patrol agents in McAllen, Texas, on Monday before he was killed by local police and federal agents who returned fire.
The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News that the shooter, armed with a rifle and tactical gear, attacked agents at the entrance of a Border Patrol facility. The shooting appeared to be “a purposeful ambush/attack against federal agents,” according to authorities. Two police officers were injured, including one who was shot in the knee, and a Border Patrol employee was also wounded, according to the DH
“This morning, an individual opened fire at the entrance of the United States Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas. Both Border Patrol agents and local police helped neutralize the shooter. This is an ongoing investigation led by the FBI. More information will be shared as it becomes available,” the DHS said in a statement.
The shooter, who has not been identified, was reported missing on Monday morning, according to McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez, The New York Times reported. Authorities found other weapons in the shooter’s vehicle, which had been spray-painted with a message that law enforcement was trying to decipher, according to the Times.
Authorities are expected to hold a press conference addressing the shooting later on Monday.
