Border Patrol agent shoots man
By: Wire Reports -
A U.S. Border Patrol agent Saturday shot at a man standing on the Mexican side of the border after the man ---- who apparently was holding rocks ---- cocked his arm and made a throwing motion, San Diego police said.
The man ran away but officers later were told that a man with a gunshot wound went to a Tijuana hospital, San Diego homicide Lt. Kevin Rooney said.
The agent was on the lookout for illegal border crossers when he spotted a man holding a makeshift ladder and standing close to a border fence on the Mexican side, Rooney said.
The agent, who opened the gate of another fence, saw the man move toward the open gate, Rooney said.
The agent ran toward the man, who backed away and scooped up what appeared to be rocks, Rooney said.
When the man cocked his arm as if to throw a rock, the agent fired, police said.
The man grabbed his arm, then ran down an embankment and disappeared, Rooney said.
U.S. and Mexican detectives are jointly investigating the incident, Rooney said. A completed report will be forwarded to the U.S. Attorney's Office for review.
The agent involved in the shooting is an eight-year department veteran. Officials did not release his name

I've read one story now that says the illegal actually threw a rock and a couple of stories that said he had a rock in his hand. A rock could be considered a deadly weapon. Under the circumstances it would appear that the illegal had the intent to at least case physical harm. Sounds like a justified shooting to me.
Don't throw rocks at LEOs!
