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.

A murder investigation should be conducted.

2. They don't have body cams do they?

Case closed and I guarantee he is lying... I am pretty sure the immigrants aren't stupid enough to attack an armed ICE agent.

4. Oh, Jeez. It seems the batteries had worn down on the body cam.

I'm actually more amazed at the number of times that real recordings are still obtained from the police cams. So many ways to destroy evidence.

3. Under attack? Blunt objects?

Why am I having trouble believing him?? OR how long they performed CPR. OR how fast they worked to get to their medical supplies.
