It will be interesting to learn who this unfortunate person "is" if we ever know the truth.
Was this a performance?

Authorities have not determined a motive. Mosqueda was a Michigan resident, according to his forms of identification and his vehicle tags and registration, Saenz said. He was reported missing on Sunday from another address associated with him in Weslaco, Texas, a city near McAllen, the police spokesman added.
Mosqueda arrived at the Border Patrol facility in a small white passenger car, parked in the facilitys parking lot, exited his vehicle with an assault rifle and opened fire, Saenz said. He was wearing a tactical vest and moved through the parking lot, continuing to fire at federal and local officers.
After Mosqueda was killed, officers found additional weapons in his vehicle, including another rifle and ammunition, Saenz said.
