A 27-year-old man was killed Monday after opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, authorities said.

Federal agents returned fire at the man, who had an assault rifle and was carrying a utility vest, McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez told reporters Monday morning.

Rodriguez identified the suspect as Ryan Louis Mosqueda.

Law enforcement said they found another rifle and more ammunition. Rodriguez said the man’s motive is currently unknown.

One officer was injured in the shooting. Rodriguez said it was unclear if the injury was from shrapnel or a bullet.

opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility ... motive is currently unknown.

Man shoots nazis, motive unknown 🤔

Going by recent history?

Probably for not nazi-ing hard enough.

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

I dunno, ICE is giving a lot of motivate for people to target them.

Right? Remember when "because they were fucking Nazis" would have been the presumed motive?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hopefully one day we can build a statue of him.

Wasnt there just another post about AOC being critical of ICE and the top comment is about going out and buying a firearm?

I can't wait for the movie adaptation

If you're last name is "Rodriguez" and you are still working for Border Patrol, you're a traitor.

Most are surprised that a whole lotta border patrol are Hispanic.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Makes sense they'd want to hire Spanish speakers

Where's all the people complaining about the lack of people trying to start stuff with feds?

Almost like fighting the way they want to be fought doesn't accomplish Jack and shit.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This tracks exactly with what I say; one person alone can’t do shit.

I bet the story would’ve been quite different had there been 10-20 heroes instead of one.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

Solo running a facility as if life is an FPS game where you can just super soldier and out aim everything wasn't the best of ideas.

No he didn't. Unless he robbed an army base, he probably had a regular old AR15

For anyone else curious about the relationship to ICE, here is what I found on Wikipedia, with each → pointing to a parent agency:

US Border Patrol → US Customs and Border Protection → US Department of Homeland Security

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) → US Department of Homeland Security

They are all the same picture, but with a changed nameplate. Burn them all.

Hopefully his shots caught some nazi skulls and nothing else.
