Whack-a-mole: Border Patrol agents fire into Mexico during bust

With more incidents of gun fire across the border, we can only anticipate that some form of "border crisis" will occurr not far in the future. 

Border Patrol agents fire into Mexico during bust:The Associated Press: U.S. Border Patrol agents fired gunshots into Mexico after coming under attack during a half-ton drug bust and giving chase to a truck along the Rio Grande, U.S. authorities said Monday.... No Border Patrol agents were hurt during the "fire fight" early Saturday in Mission, agency spokeswoman Rosalinda Huey said.... "The firing they received came from the Mexican side," 


Huey said several Border Patrol agents, at least some of whom were patrolling in boats, were seizing a half-ton of marijuana when they came under gunfire. Federal officials said the shots from Mexico began when a truck that was being chased by another group of Border Patrol agents entered the area.  Sept. 13, 2010
