WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Border Patrol was involved in a shooting in Arizona on Tuesday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in a statement, adding that his office was working with the FBI and Customs and Border Protection to look into the incident. NBC News earlier reported, citing a Pima County Sheriff spokeswoman, that a person was in critical condition after being shot in an incident involving the Border Patrol in the county that includes Tucson and is located along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The circumstances of the incident were not immediately clear. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The incident comes after the killing of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse shot multiple times by federal immigration agents on Saturday in Minnesota. Coupled with the fatal shooting of Renee Good, also 37, earlier this month by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, Pretti’s shooting has become a full-blown political crisis for President Donald Trump and sparked renewed anger over the aggressive tactics of the federal agents who have been roving the streets of Minneapolis for weeks. Trump has pursued a hardline immigration agenda since taking office last year and has surged immigration agents into major U.S. cities, where they swept through neighborhoods and clashed with residents.

This article is wild…
The driver of a vehicle was being chased by cbp for giving brown people a ride in his car, stopped and let a bunch of people escape from his car then fled AND ESCAPED(?)
Later(?), cbp ghetto bird found the same exact vehicle being driven by this guy and chased him until he got out of his car and opened fire on the chopper(?)… then the officer in the chopper pursued him on foot(?) when a firefight erupted between the two and guy was shot.
You’ll have to forgive me if, due to recent events, I find the credibility of the CBP to be in the negative, especially with such a disconnected story.
Can we have some body cam footage to prove this shooting was justified?
Until then, I’m afraid it was just another federal assault/attempted murder on a US Citizen.
then fled AND ESCAPED(?)
This is why they don’t publish the statistics on bank robberies.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
Exactly can we get one fucking headline Where ICE is the ones shot?
that’s the one Trump, Xi, and Putin can’t wait to see
It fucking sucks that youre right. The second one of those assholes gets what they deserve, they will trigger their next level of plans and subjugation. By not retaliating, they make themselves look worse and worse and worse and dig their own graves. This is what it takes to change the minds of the absolute morons that got us here in the first place.
I would choose to emphasize this bit at this time
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
why?
So is this a non issue because it wasn’t recorded from 4 different angles? Or is the issue here that a Hispanic person was shot so nobody cares?
It didn’t happen on a crowded city street with lots of witnesses, so there’s nobody coming forward with video showing the victim wasn’t shooting. So far, the government is using more careful phrasing, but/and they’re still clamping a lid on any further information.
Hardly a non-issue. It’s being reported all over - but probably just because of the algoryth that pushes stories with similar key words as the current top stories.
But the problem is that we don’t have much info on what happened. We know the police / feds will lie even when we have video proof from 10 angle to prove them liars. So what to do when we don’t have any independent information?
Gonna need footage of this ridiculous scene the CBP painted because they tend to stretch the truth.
disarm ICE now
