Claudia Patricia Gomez Gonzalez

(CNN) -- Claudia Patricia Gomez Gonzalez traveled 1,500 miles to the United States, hoping to find a job and a better future. Shortly after she set foot in Texas, a Border Patrol agent shot and killed her.

Gomez Gonzalez's shooting Wednesday drew international attention after a bystander posted video of the aftermath on Facebook Live, showing her lying on the ground, bleeding.

Authorities changed their account of the incident, adding to the controversy at a time when the White House has cracked down on illegal immigration.

The deadly encounter ended the journey Gomez Gonzalez started nearly three weeks ago in an indigenous community in San Juan Ostuncalco, Guatemala.

Gomez Gonzalez earned a degree in accounting two years ago, but had not been able to find a job.

This story Reminds me of something my third-grade teacher said to us.

Obviously an accidental shooting, just from the very description of it. If an agent was surrounded by an attacking group of big burly illegals, the last person on Earth he would aim for is a young girl.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Sounds like the leftist vultures are going to pimp her for their political cause.

Yeah, the problem I have with it is how the agents evidently lied about what happened until video showed up.
