BORDERc PATROL COMMANDER GREG BOVINO: “During this operation, an individual approached U.S Border Patrol agents with a nine millimeter semi-automatic handgun. The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots.”

“Medics on the scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject, but the subject was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had two loaded magazines and no accessible ID.”

“This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement."

BORDER PATROL CHIEF GREG BOVINO: “We need state and local help, state and local law enforcement to help us coordinate to get violent criminals off the street."

“Mayor Frey and Chief O'Hare, just a few minutes ago, did the opposite of that by omitting the fact that the suspect had a gun and magazines full of ammunition in what looks like a situation, again, where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement .”
