NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) — An illegal immigrant says that three assailants shot at him and three other border-crossers in the southeastern Arizona desert over the weekend.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Lupita Perez says 21-year-old Hector Catalan of the Mexican state of Sinaloa told deputies that he and three other men crossed the border illegally on Saturday.

Catalan told deputies that three armed men on top of a hill began shooting at the group in a desert area near Rio Rico, about eight miles north of Nogales.

He says that he and his three companions scattered and ran in different directions.

Catalan says he got away and made it to Interstate 19, where deputies came across him, and that he didn't know if anyone had been shot.
