This story has been unfolding for the past couple of days.
Mexico official: Teen died at border from gunshot: "Mexico's ambassador to the United States says it appears a teenager who threw rocks at Border Patrol agents in the Arizona city of Nogales died from a gunshot wound.
The death of 17-year-old Ramses Barron Torres has been in dispute since a Mexican official said the teen died Wednesday after he fell from a border fence and hit his head on a rock.
But state police in Sonora, across the border from Arizona, said companions of the Barron Torres claim he was shot by a U.S. Border Patrol agent after the youths had illegally crossed the border." Jan. 6, 2011, AP/Washington Post

And sometimes I simply muse.
