McALLEN — A Border Patrol agent was shot in the foot today while pursuing a man on a commonly used smuggling route near the Rio Grande.
Roy Cervantes, a spokesman for the Rio Grande Valley Sector of the Border Patrol, said a man fired at two agents southeast of McAllen, hitting one in the foot before escaping into a wildlife refuge. The agent, whose name wasn't released, was treated at a McAllen hospital and released, Cervantes said. The suspect was described as a Hispanic male between the ages of 25 and 30.
"The FBI always takes the lead in these types of cases where there is a federal agent that is injured or assaulted," Cervantes told The Associated Press.
Boat patrols, canine units and night vision scopes were being used in the search, Jose Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Border Patrol, said in a story in Monday's edition of The (McAllen) Monitor.
