In a statement to Fox News, the Department of Homeland Security said, “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.”
This attack comes one month after rioters attacked ICE agents in Los Angeles. Kevin Downey Jr. wrote at the time:
More than 1,000 rioters assaulted ICE officers at a federal building in Los Angeles on Friday. It took the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) two hours to respond.
This is a developing story.
