Breaking News: Mexican Teen Shot by US Border patrol
2010-06-08
Babelfish... etc. You may want to look at the El Paso Times in the morning for a fuller story
A sixteen year old Mexican teenager was shot to death by agents of the US Border patrol late Monday night, according to Mexican press reports.

Sergio Adrian Hernandez, 16, was shot by US Border patrol agents while he was still on the Mexican side of the border, according to witnesses who say they saw the shooting.
What, pray tell, what the lad doing that drove the Border Patrol to shoot across the border?
The shooting took place at about 2000 hrs beneath the Puento Negro railroad bridge over the Rio Bravo that connects Juarez with El Paso, Texas.

The youth attempted to cross into the US with two other companions when he was shot. Reports say Hernandez was hit twice in the head and once in the torso.
That's pretty good shooting, I believe. Again, what did the lad do to provoke being shot?
Police on both sides of the border are investigating.
