An active shooter armed with tactical gear and a rifle opened fire upon Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley on Monday.

Agents and local police returned fire and killed the gunman. No federal agents were hit, but one McAllen police officer was struck. Law enforcement sources say the officer is in stable condition.

"This morning an individual opened fired at the entrance of the United States Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas. Both Border Patrol agents and local police helped neutralize the shooter," the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to Fox News. "This is an ongoing investigation led by the FBI. More information will be shared as it becomes available."

Law enforcement believes the attack was a purposeful ambush targeting Border Patrol officials. Local police say they will hold a news conference on the attack later Monday.

BREAKING: Three federal & TX law enforcement sources tell me an active shooter with a rifle & tactical gear ambushed Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, TX this morning. Local police and federal agents returned fire, killing him. I’m told this was a purposeful ambush/attack against federal agents and a press conference is planned for later this morning. No federal agents injured. Im told a McAllen police officer may have been shot, but is in stable condition.

He found out.

Some 20 years ago, there was a thread here about a woman who was bragging about having crossed at McAllen around 400 times.

Hopefully he means it, but I’ll believe it when I see it over time.

Democrats need to follow Gov Walz lead and tone down the rhetoric.

Should we start the watch on the Ann Coulter Theory, the longer we go without knowing anything about the shooter the more likely the shooter is a Muslim, Antifa idiot or radical transgender zealot.

He needs to be reminded of his statement to tone down the rhetoric every time he violates it.

Day by day they are going but ever so slowly. They saved this one the trip.

LINK: "There needs to be blood": Democrats' voters tell them to "get shot" in Trump resistance push Gee. Anonymous Democrats in the house say this is what their constituency wants.

"...Axios spoke to more than two dozen House Democrats for this story, with many requesting anonymity to offer candid insights about their interactions with constituents and activists..."

This is what they have fostered. This is what they have encouraged. And this is the fruit of their efforts.

If I were any Democrat, I would be worried for my own safety from their own unhinged "constituency" that may bring violence against these elected officials who have encouraged it.

I expect we will see this kind of backlash by Leftists who resort to violence because "Their elected officials aren't doing enough to fight the fascists in the Trump Administration".

Democrats in both the House and the Senate should be concerned about their own safety due to these feral emotionally fragile infants they have created, encouraged, and nurtured.

These Useful Idiots are people who lack impulse control, and the dimwits in power on the Left have built them up and now are suddenly realizing they may have created monsters.
