Border Policeman Shoots Teenager Throwing Rocks Who Dies

No, this wasn't an Israeli border guard shooting an Arab youngster.

It was a US border agent shooting a Mexican kid to death.

Here:-

Mexico has demanded a full inquiry after a Mexican teenager died after a US border patrol agent opened fire from the US side of the border. The youth, believed to be 14 or 15, was found on the Mexican side under a bridge linking Ciudad Juarez with El Paso.

US authorities said the agent was defending himself and colleagues after they came under attack from people throwing stones and rocks. The FBI is investigating the incident.


More:-

The FBI said the agent opened fire during a confrontation with a group of suspected illegal immigrants trying to enter the US.

It said two people were arrested but the others retreated into Mexico, throwing rocks.

"The subjects surrounded the agent and continued to throw rocks at him. The agent then fired his service weapon several times, striking one subject who later died," the FBI said.

The teenager was identified as Sergio Adrian Hernandez.


And this:-

The US Border Patrol says rock attacks on its agents are frequent and capable of causing serious injury.

The issue of illegal migration, and the treatment of Mexicans on the border, is a source of abiding tension between the US and Mexico.

Last week Mexico made similar protests over the death of a Mexican migrant after he was given electric shocks by US agents who were trying to deport him.

Mexico's foreign ministry says its records show so far this year 17 Mexican nationals have been killed or injured by US immigration authorities, up from 12 last year and five in 2008.
