shooting closes border crossing

SAN DIEGO, California (AP) -- Authorities shut down a busy U.S-Mexico border crossing Thursday after U.S. authorities shot and killed the driver of a car headed for Mexico, officials said.

The shooting occurred on southbound Interstate 5 around 3:30 p.m. about 50 feet north of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the world's busiest border crossing, which links Tijuana, Mexico, with San Diego.

The driver, who not immediately identified, was pronounced dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds, said Maurice Luque, a spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials were trying to stop a black SUV that was under surveillance for suspected immigrant smuggling.

A motorist said that a federal agent rapped on the vehicle's window with his baton, but the driver accelerated and the agent opened fire.

doesnt this remind you of agressive force? maybe a little bit of taking the law in your own hands? they could have done many other things to stop him like ram their car with their cop crusier and cause much less injury. if they keep doing stuff like this the immigrants will keep flooding in like crazy.

what do you think?
