An Indiana National Guard member was involved in a shooting at the southern border Sunday but details are scant while an investigation continues.
According to a NewsNation report, the soldier saw an individual stabbing a fellow migrant along the river’s edge in El Paso, which is on U.S. soil. The soldier shot at the individual, who ran back into Mexico. It is unclear what they were shot with or whether they were struck.
Indiana National Guard officials deferred specific questions to Texas military officials.
“The Indiana National Guard is aware of the incident that happened Sunday, April 14. We support and care for our soldiers and airmen supporting Operation Lone Star,” the Guard said in a statement.
