Border agent shoots suspected illegal immigrant
TUCSON - Authorities say a U.S. Border Patrol agent has shot a suspected illegal immigrant from Mexico who was trying to cross the Arizona border northwest of Nogales.
Santa Cruz County officials say the 30-year-old man from Nogales, Son., was airlifted to a Tucson hospital after being shot at least once in the abdomen Tuesday morning. It's unclear if the man's wounds are life-threatening.
The Arizona Daily Star says the Border Patrol called the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office at 9:40 a.m. to report the shooting.
Agents working a remote area near Walker Canyon say they came upon 12 suspected illegal border crossers. The group fled before shots were fired.
Authorities say the agent involved in the shooting hasn't given deputies his account of the incident. The other 11 suspected illegal immigrants are in custody.
