An active shooter this morning ambushed Border Patrol agents in McAllen, Texas. The shooter had a rifle and was wearing tactical gear, according to Bill Melugin with Fox News.

Thankfully, the shooter is no more and the agents were not injured. There was a McAllen police officer who was shot, bu the said to be in stable condition.

Here’s the news:

BREAKING: Three federal & TX law enforcement sources tell me an active shooter with a rifle & tactical gear ambushed Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, TX this morning. Local police and federal agents returned fire, killing him. I’m told this was a purposeful ambush/attack against federal agents and a press conference is planned for later this morning. No federal agents injured. I’m told a McAllen police officer may have been shot, but is in stable condition.

DHS has issued a statement, according to Melugin:

“This morning, an individual opened fired at the entrance of the United States Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas. Both Border Patrol agents and local police helped neutralize the shooter. This is an ongoing investigation led by the FBI. More information will be shared as it becomes available.”

When will Democrats stop with the angry rhetoric aimed at our law enforcement officers? I’m not blaming them directly for the shooting, but they have clearly created a toxic atmosphere for Border Patrol and ICE agents and it needs to END.
