El Paso Times
EL PASO -- A gunshot was fired by a U.S. Border Patrol agent being attacked with rocks thrown from Mexico, an agency spokesman said Wednesday.

Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said the incident occurred Monday evening when an agent near the Bridge of the Americas called for help because a group of people were throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border. Another agent fired a pepperball launcher, which shoots projectiles filled with pepper spray. But the rock throwing continued. An agent then fired one round from a handgun at the rock-throwers. There were no known injuries.

The incident is under investigation by the Border Patrol and the FBI. The Mexican Consulate in El Paso was also notified, Mosier said.
