A Border Patrol agent shot and killed a migrant woman in Rio Bravo, Texas, Wednesday, according to officials with US Customs and Border Protection.

The agent was responding to a report of illegal activity near a culvert and was attacked by the migrants with "blunt objects" after he tried to detain them, CBP said in a news release. The agent shot a female migrant in the head during the encounter.

The agent then gave the woman CPR until emergency responders arrived, but she later died from her injury. The other migrants fled the scene after the shot was fired and three were later detained by other agents, CBP said.

"I heard a Border Patrol agent screaming 'See what happens? See what you caused?'" Martinez told BuzzFeed News.

(CNN)An undocumented immigrant was shot and killed Wednesday by a Border Patrol agent in Rio Bravo, Texas, according to US Customs and Border Protection.

The agent was responding to a report of illegal activity near a culvert and discovered a group of undocumented immigrants, the agency said. The agent tried to apprehend the group, but he came under attack by people using blunt objects. The agent fired at least one round, fatally wounding one person, CBP said.

The woman was shot in the head, said Fire Chief Juan C. Gonzalez of Rio Bravo Fire & Rescue. She still had a pulse when the department arrived at the scene at 12:47 p.m., he said. But by the time his team got supplies, she no longer had a pulse, Gonzalez said.

Members of the department performed CPR for eight minutes before EMTs arrived and pronounced her dead, Gonzalez said.
