A gun battle broke out on the border between Arizona and Mexico early this morning. 1 U.S. border agent was killed. At 1:30 a.m. today (10/2/2012), a gun battle broke out on the border between Arizona and Mexico. One border agent was shot and killed, and the other two were seriously injured. Their lives are not in danger. The suspect who shot the border officers has not been arrested, and there is no specific information on how many people were involved in the shootout when the shooting occurred. The FBI is involved in the investigation. The gunfight took place in Kempshall, a high-frequency drug trafficking area. The terrain here is rugged, with many rocks and hills, making it an easy place to hide. Mark Denney, commander of the Cochise County Sheriff's Joint Task Force on the Border, said law enforcement officers were working hard this morning to track down the suspect and they were confident they would find the culprit. At the same time, many U.S. lawmakers expressed condolences to the dead and injured border patrol agents. The dead border agent leaves behind a wife and two children.
