Fatal Mexican border shooting sparks armed stand-off on the Rio Grande

An armed confrontation between Mexican soldiers and US Border Patrol agents was threatening to create a full-scale diplomatic incident last night.

The stand-off on the banks of the Rio Grande took place on Monday after a Mexican teenager was shot dead by US officials. The FBI, who have begun an investigation into the shooting, said that Border Patrol agents were chased away from the scene by Mexican officials pointing their rifles at them across the river.

The second fatal shooting in two weeks came after President Obama’s pledge to “secure the borderâ€

Video shows the Mexican officials crossing into the US, picking something up, and then placing it next to the body. I'll be that they picked up the shell casing and brought it back to Mexico, in an attempt to frame the agent, and make it look like the shot was fired in Mexico. Not only is it illegal for them to cross into the US, if they did indeed pick up the shell casing, they should be charged with obstruction of justice, illegal entry in to the US, and hindering in the investigation of a felony.

This is directly aimed at OBUMMER.

He allowed a foreign president to chastise our rule of law.

IMPEACH MR LIAR

Impeach Obama and lock down our border and rid this country of illegals.
I have to agree.."bring it on"lets get it over with now......


Amazing all their focus is on this young Mexican boy. It is a shame for it to happen. But WHAT ABOUT the American citizens killed and raped by these crminal border jumpers? Where is the justice? Where is our government and their oath to keep this country safe? And since when did our Constitution pertain to people of other countries? What gives corporations the right to disobey laws so they can have cheap labor? We need to boycott these corporations.

mepdblue,

I think they picked up the dope they were protecting or the money he just made off the illegals he was smuggling.

His mother, Maria Guadalupe Heureka, said that he was going to borrow money for school supplies when he was shot.

I don't believe her. Do they start school in the middle of Summer in Mexico?

I think the young man was killed running the family business.

This little brat was a known and documented criminal alien smuggler. His mother is lying. Who lets their kid go to a violent border to "borrow school money"? Hey MARIA GUADALUPE HUEREKA, it's your fault! You should have raised your child to not be a smuggler. You also could have told him to NOT go to the river. You also could have taught him to respect authority.

If he was a human smuggler, as reports claim, he was probably supporting his mother and she lost her pay check. Sounds to me like like she is being "coached" on her portrayal of him to be a little saint.

His mother, Maria Guadalupe Heureka, said that he was going to borrow money for school supplies when he was shot.

School supplies, right.

He was a wanted human smuggler a year ago at the age of 14!! Moma wasn't concerned about that?

According to most reports, the cartels have taken over the human smuggling. Was he associated with the cartels? They do get them young there and grow them in the life.

FBI: Mexicans took aim at and threatened the U.S.

Thursday, June 10, 2010

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) - Pointing their rifles, Mexican security forces threatened and chased away U.S. authorities investigating the shooting of a 15-year-old Mexican by a U.S. Border Patrol agent on the banks of the Rio Grande, the FBI and witnesses said Wednesday.

The killing of the Mexican by U.S. authorities - the second in less than two weeks - has exposed the extreme distrust between the two countries that lies just below the surface, and has enraged Mexicans who see the death of the boy on Mexican soil as an act of murder.

Mexico's government says the number of Mexicans injured by U.S. immigration authorities has increased this year.

Shortly after the boy was shot, Mexican soldiers arrived at the scene and pointed their guns at the Border Patrol agents across the riverbank while bystanders screamed insults and hurled rocks and firecrackers, FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons said. She said the agents were forced to withdraw.

"It pretty quickly got very intense over on the Mexican side," she said, adding that FBI agents showed up later and resumed the investigation, even as Mexican authorities threatened them and pointed guns at them from across the river.

A relative of the dead boy who had been playing with him said the Mexicans - who he described as federal police, not soldiers - pointed their guns only when the Americans waded into the mud in an apparent attempt to cross into Mexico.

The Mexican authorities accused the Americans of trying to recover evidence from Mexican soil and threatened to kill them if they crossed the border, prompting both sides to draw their guns, said the 16-year-old boy who asked not to be further identified for fear of reprisal.

The confrontation occurred Monday night over the body of Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereka, who died of his wounds beside the column of a railroad bridge connecting Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas.

Each government has made veiled accusations suggesting misconduct on the part of the other's law enforcement agents.

Hernandez was found 20 feet into Mexico, and an autopsy revealed that the fatal shot was fired at a relatively close range, according to Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Chihuahua state attorney general's office.

Mexican authorities said a .40 caliber shell casing was found near the body, suggesting that the Border Patrol agent might have crossed into Mexico to shoot the boy.

That would violate the rules for Border Patrol agents, who are supposed to stay on the U.S. side - and could open the agent to a Mexican homicide prosecution.

A U.S. official close to the investigation said authorities have a video showing that the Border Patrol agent did not cross into Mexico.

In fact, the official said, the video shows members of Mexican law enforcement crossing onto the U.S. side, picking something up and returning to Mexico.

The official was not cleared to speak about the video and spoke only on condition of anonymity.
