1) How exactly did the boys get up the big hill and back over the massive wall to Mexico? The reports say all this was witnessed, and as I see it (based on the report) one can't exactly "flee" back to Mexico when faced with a substantial wall, unless of course they built a massive ramp, dug a tunnel under the concrete foundation, used an acetylene torch to cut a hole, or set a new pole vault record.
2) Why was the boy shot on the Mexican side? Twelve bullet holes in a wall behind him? Logic seems to tell me that anytime there is gun fire, anyone throwing rocks "flees" rather than stays to face a bullet, so why not fire over his head?
3) He was shot eight times? In the back an head? This is troubling to say the least. But what is even more troubling is the fact that anyone who fired a shot from the other side would be to climb the fifty foot sheer hill on the US side, press their nose against the twenty foot wall and fire down fifty feet to the street level to a location that would not be visible to anyone not next to the US side of the wall. A random shot from a substantial distance from the wall on the US side could not have killed the boy.
4) Eye witnesses state that four boys arrived on the scene and began throwing rocks. This is also difficult
to swallow as all four would have had to scale the fifty foot hill, get to the slits to throw accurately. These same wall would have protected the officers. Should the four boys have been throwing rocks from the street level over the 50 ft hill, over the 20 foot wall fighting gravity, I doubt Nolan Ryan could not have hit an officer. That officer of course as i stated would have had to be on the US side and up the hill. Why would an officer be within five feet of the wall endangering himself for a suspect who had already fled to Mexico?

5) The boys would have had to negotiate not just the 20 ft wall but the 50 ft steep hill to return to Mexico, and remember the bundles. Scaling a fifty foot hill, climbing a twenty foot fence takes time especially carrying bundles. According to the story and reports the Nogales Arizona police department witnessed this whole whopper of a tale. After the scaling the boys would have to scale back down the Mexican side, jump fifty feet to the street or repeal to the street, cross it, where the sixteen year old is finally shot eight times.
6) Those eight shots plus the twelve holes i counted at the scene make 20. Exactly what type of service revolver (side arm) fires a clip of 20 shots? From my cheap seats emptying a 20 round clip, (assuming there is one) suggests murder, not self defense. Particularly when the only way to make those twenty shots is to have your nose against the wall, or be within five feet of it.
