Mexican president confronts Clinton over fatal border shooting - San Diego, California News Station - KFMB Channel 8 - cbs8.com: "In response to a deadly Border Patrol shooting by this week in the Tijuana River Valley, Mexico's president confronted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the incident, and later demanded punishment for whomever was responsible.
An investigation is underway to determine exactly where 40-year--old Jose Yanez Reyes was shot when he allegedly tried to cross the border Tuesday night into the United States.
'This is an international incident,' said immigrants rights activist Enrique Morones, founder of Border Angels.
That shooting death of a Mexican national by a U.S. border patrol agent later sparked a confrontation between Mexico's president Felipe Calderon and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a security summit earlier this week.
Afterward, Calderon tweeted in Spanish, 'In Guatemala I protested to Secretary Clinton about the death of the Mexican in Tijuana. I demanded punishment for those responsible.'"

And sometimes I simply muse.
