#2 The name of the deceased has not been released because next of kin have not been notified. The Mexican Consulate has been contacted for assistance.

#3 Van Wagenen said the agents who fired on the man have been placed on administrative leave.

#5 What is the motto? "One riot, one Texas Ranger." If the Border Patrol carry on like this, they may soon be proud to say something similar.
