Mexican drug smugglers fired across the Rio Grande at US Border Patrol Agents near Anzalduas Park this morning.
KRGV reported:
The FBI is investigating after armed men shot at border patrol agents on the Rio Grande.
A Border Patrol Spokesperson tells CHANNEL 5 NEWS agents chased a vehicle to the river’s edge near Anzalduas Park this morning.
The driver swam to Mexico leaving behind his vehicle loaded with drugs. As agents were removing over a thousand pounds of marijuana armed men in Mexico began shooting at agents patrolling on boats.
The agents returned fire several times forcing the gunmen in Mexico to flee. No injuries were reported.
Nogales International has more on the attack on the border agents.
Border Patrol agents returned fire after being shot at by unidentified assailants west of Nogales last Sunday, the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office reported.
The Border Patrol notified the Sheriff’s Office of the exchange of fire shortly before 6 p.m. on Sept. 5 and deputies responded to Bellota Canyon, northeast of Peña Blanca Lake and 5 1/4 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Raoul Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez said agents were patrolling the canyon on foot when three or four armed individuals began shooting at them.
“Luckily the agents were not injured and were able to return fire,” Rodriguez said.
Border Patrol saturated the area with aerial recon and also deployed its special response team, while sheriff’s deputies also searched for the shooters.

Remember now…the boarders are safer then they have ever been.

Nope, no problems there, move along citizen.

Back in the real world, pre obama, this would be an international incident.
down with dems commented:
They should be so afraid of the US response to this that no one would dare do it. They should be absolutely slaughtered. For what we’ve spent in “stimulus” we could probably have put a border patrol agent on every single foot of the Mexican border.
chuck in st paul commented:
The War on Drugs was/is just as stupid as Prohibition. If we’d spent 10% of what we’ve wasted on DEA, etc. as medical expenses for those hooked on drugs instead of creating a drug empire this sort of crap would not be going on and there would not be billions of dollars in drug trade profits attracting these maggots.
But then…. what do I know? It’s above my paygrade apparently.
Granny commented:
Yup, yup. Borders are so safe ICE thinks it a great idea to simply release any illegals that are caught during a traffic stop or those with no criminal history. Not a problem at all. The Commission Against Discrimination will simply file a law suit against any employer who dares to ask to see a green card. LOL
Seriously, this is not really anything new. Been going on for some time now. And sometimes those dudes on the other side firing on our Border Patrol wear the military uniform of Mexico. We are being invaded – quite literally – and TheWon does nothing but throw another million dollar shindig between vacations and golf games.
DukeofWellington commented:
We need some of that firepower we’re using on the Taliban. The first drug dealer who gets predatored will be the last one to fire on U.S. border agents. Take a hard line and hold it. That’s too much for Obama, of course.
Stan commented:
How soon until the agents are suspended and charged with “creating an international incident”?
gus commented:
But but but but but……it’s racist to shoot at Mexicans.
Oh dear, the Cop spokesmans name is Rodriguez.
Obviously an UNCLE TOMAS.
dad29 commented:
Actually, I think those are two DIFFERENT incidents.
The Rio Grande River incident was near Brownsville (check the original telecast story and you’ll find a weather-map for Brownsville area on the TV screen.
The Nogales incident was 5 nukes away from the border, not on the Rio Grande.
gus commented:
Chuck what will the folks do when they can’t sell drugs. Maybe join the Peace Corps??
IOpian commented:
Next time call in an A-10 air strike. Let the cartels match that.
tarpon commented:
Shouldn’t we have attack helicopters on ready five for just these sort of attacks?
sandy commented:
Hey Obama — Can You Hear Jan Brewer Now???
Brewer said that it was just Hispanics coming across the border from Mexico but also Muslims. Being that Nepolitano said we might be attacked in the next couple of weeks wouldn’t now be the time to secure our border?
sandy commented:
Appeasement starts wars.
Peace through Strength.
Militant Conservative commented:
The next war will be here in our backyard due to the wimp policies of the NOTUS. Hope Ya’ll are prepaired for a shooting war in your backyard. powder is dry.
Stuart commented:
A week or so ago on a similar post I commented that the thought that entered my mind upon reading it was Churchill’s quote,”The battle of France is over the battle of Britain is about to begin.”
I up dated the quote to, “the battle of Mexico is over the battle for America is about to begin.”
I didn’t need a ouija board to see that one coming.
So it begins.

The nearest the Rio Grande comes to Nogales is at El Paso which is several hundred miles. Has to be two incidents.
Elmo commented:
Yeah, caught that earlier. And my first thought after reading a different report (much shorter) … excise: “ANZALDUAS PARK – The FBI is investigating after armed men shot at border patrol agents on the Rio Grande.”
Was, it might be a leel bit easier, or at least the drive would be shorter (for the Feeb’s). If they weren’t all stuck down in Gainesville (Flowreeda).
And check this sh*t out:
“At Jones’ Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., protesters arrived early yesterday along with a heavy police presence equipped with bomb sniffing dogs.
‘There have been several threats to the church and church members,’ said Tscharna Senn, an officer with the Gainesville police.
Cops pounced on one protester, 29-year-old Sebastain Bagby, when he held up a Koran and whipped out a lighter. The officers grabbed the items out of Bagby’s hand but didn’t arrest him.”

It took a second read for me to realize these are two different stories being reported in one blog post. A sub-heading or even a sentence that segues from the first incident to the second one would have been helpful.
Still, I appreciate GP reporting these incidents because, you know, with all the news about Quran-burning, the lamestream media wouldn’t have the manpower or air time to cover this fluff piece. (insert eye-roll emoticon here.)
