LUKEVILLE, Ariz. -- The Lukeville border crossing on the way to Rocky Point has re-opened after gunfire erupted on the Mexican side.

Border Patrol agents have one person in custody who was trying to cross into Arizona and they are searching for more people.

Mexican authorities told agents there was an altercation between a group of people that was trying to cross the border outside of the port of entry, according to Customs and Border Protection Enforcement officials.

Out of caution for the traveling public, Border Patrol agents shut down the port from 4 to 6 p.m. while they searched the area for people who crossed outside the port of entry.
