SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — The Border Patrol is reporting that twice this week, some of its agents in the San Diego Sector had to evade gunfire coming from south of the border as they patrolled the border with Mexico.
One incident reportedly occurred just yards north of the border on Monday night less than a mile east of the San Ysidro port of entry.
According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents were rendering aid to an injured 4-year-old boy when they had to take cover to avoid being hit by bullets.
The boy had been dropped from the primary border barrier by an unknown individual who was entering the United States, officials with Border Patrol say.
