Mexican Authorities Attacked at Rio Grande City
More information about other shootings near the border further down the text. The US Border Patrol spokesfella acts like someone broke a window in Mexico --- No big deal. In fact, the only element ready for trouble are local officials.
To be fair, if the good Mr. Perez had made a disparaging comment about the events on the Mexican side of the border, we would have been inundated with outcries of imperialism, gringoism, and interference in the affairs of a sovereign state. Pro'ly better for the lower echelon types to play dumb in public statements and prepare behind the scenes for the coming storm.
Gunmen opened fire on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande City-Camargo International Bridge on Saturday morning.

Tamaulipas officials confirmed the attack via the state's emergency notification system amid a flurry of unconfirmed reports about the assault, providing few details about the incident. A Mexican customs facility at the port of entry was damaged, but officials did not report any injuries in connection with Saturday's confrontation between federal authorities and the gunmen.

U.S. customs officials said they were "aware of what's going on in Mexico" but that the incidents had not affected operations on the U.S. portion of the bridge.

"Whatever happened, happened in Mexico," said Eddie Perez, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. "Not here."
