by Tom GantertBorder Patrol agents shot a 19-year-old man who hit an agent with a rock and stole his ATV.
San Diego, CA – Police are investigating a shooting Sunday involving the United States Border Patrol in which the suspect hit an agent on an ATV with a rock and then fled in the agent’s ATV.
Border Patrol agents tried to stop the 19-year-old man at about 2:30 a.m. and a fight broke out, according to KSWB-TV. The Border Patrol agent was hit by the rock with enough force that it knocked him off his ATV.
After the suspect then got on the agent’s ATV and fled, two Border Patrol agents opened fire and hit the suspect at least once. The suspect crashed the ATV into a fence a short while later, KSWB reported.
The suspect was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to KSWB. No Border Patrol agents were injured.
The San Diego Police Department is handling the investigation, according to KGTV-TV.

Jul 31, 2018 Glad to hear the officer who was targeted and assaulted will be ok. Also happy to hear 2 other agents were able to recover the stolen ATV and take the illegal alien down and arrested‼️♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👮♀️👮♀️👮♀️

Jul 30, 2018 They failed to effectively stop the illegal invader, they need more range time!

Jul 30, 2018 Theft + Force+Assault= Robbery, a felony in most jurisdictions.

Jul 30, 2018 He hit the officer, with a rock, and that's assault. The fact that he lived, says one of two things......the responding officers need to go back to the range, or they meant to just wound him.

Jul 30, 2018 I know Rocks hurt and cause major injuries if not Death. Lead was a good response!!

Jul 30, 2018 What do you mean no agents were injured? One was knocked off his ATV with a rock!? Sounds like attempted murder to me!

Jul 29, 2018 Because its an officer involved shooting, lots of times this happens where another agency will handle these. Example a city police shoots someone the Sheriff's Dept may handle the investigation. Its to try to lessen appearance of bias.
