RINCON PENINSULA, Texas -- U.S. Border Patrol agents on the American side of the Rio Grande were forced to take cover Friday night when high-caliber weaponry was fired at them from the Mexican side of the river, sources told FoxNews.com.
The weapons were fired at the U.S. side of the riverbank in the area of the Rincon Peninsula across the Rio Grande from Reynosa, Mexico, at about 8:30 p.m., sources said. Bullets ricocheted into an area where Border Patrol agents were positioned, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told FoxNews.com.
Border Patrol sources confirmed Gohmert's account, and said the shots may have been fired by .50-caliber weapons.
"We don't have any armor that can stop a .50-caliber round, so our Border Patrol agents had to take cover when the rounds were richocheting around them," said Gohmert, who has been in the area for the last week to get a first-hand look at the border situation.
"When the shooting stopped, about 40 to 50 people came out on the U.S. side and turned themselves in. So clearly the rounds were being fired to suppress every effort to stop anybody intervening with anyone or anything coming across," Gohmert added. "We have no idea what or how many or whom came across with the other illegal immigrants."
Screw the National Guard. Send the frickin' MARINES down there and make them wish they'd never been born.
This crap has GOT to stop...NOW!!!!!!
see, like, guns are bad um_kay
The cartels have done random shooting across the border for decades with all types of weapons. I remember in the mid 80s there was a rash of those shootings from the Mexican side at river rafters in the big bend area of the state
This problem is not new.
We could say that the impacts were meteors and that it must have been purely coincidental.
Napalm smells good in the morning too
LMAO. So unlike you
Heck...it would improve the other side of the border..we should send them a bill afterwards.
