    San Diego: Border Patrol agent shoots man who attacked him..

    Border Patrol agent shoots man who attacked him with rock

    SAN DIEGO – A Border Patrol agent shot and wounded a suspected illegal immigrant Thursday after the man assaulted him with a rock, authorities said.
    The agent had gone to check on a seismic detection device in a rugged canyon off Barrett Smith Road near State 94 between the communities of Barrett Junction and Tecate about 6 p.m., sheriff's Lt. Dennis Brugos said.

    He came upon two men and tried to take them into custody but they resisted and pelted the agent with rocks and sticks, Brugos said.

    The agent fired once, hitting the 30-year-old man.

    Border Patrol officials notified the Sheriff's Department and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection about the shooting at 7 p.m.

    A CalFire dispatcher said the wounded man was stuck in a 500-foot ravine. It took firefighters using a winch at the top of the ravine about two hours to hoist up the man. He was flown to hospital with injuries authorities say are not life-threatening.

    He was arrested and will face charges that include assault on a federal officer.

    The agent was treated for minor injuries. The other man got away.

    The sheriff's department is investigating the shooting, which is routine with officer-involved shootings in unincorporated areas.

    Border Patrol Shoots Man Who Pelted Him With Rocks, Sticks
    Suspect Will Face Charges Related To Assault On Officer

    POSTED: 12:52 pm PDT October 13, 2007


    TECATE, Calif. -- A 30-year-old man was recovering Friday from being shot in a rural area popular with U.S./Mexico border crossers, authorities said.

    Isreal Amezquita-Luna was shot by a uniformed U.S. Border Patrol agent at about 6 p.m. Thursday in a rugged canyon one quarter mile north of Highway 94, between Barrett Junction and Tecate, said the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

    The agent said he fired after he confronted a group of people that included Amezquita-Luna, and was met with thrown rocks and sticks. He fired one round, striking only Amezquita-Luna, whose injuries are not life-threatening, police said.

    Police said the agent received minor injuries.

    Amezquita-Luna is currently in custody and will face unspecified charges related to assault on a federal officer, according to officials.

    Other members of the group, also accused of throwing rocks and sticks at the agent, fled the scene and have not been arrested, officials said.
