Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino said at a press conference Saturday afternoon that agents were engaged in a “targeted operation against an illegal alien” when a man approached armed with “a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun.” Bovino said the man “violently resisted” when agents attempted to disarm him.
“This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement,” Bovino said. The man also had two loaded magazines, according to Bovino, who said he was pronounced dead at the scene.
