[Just The News] Drug Enforcement Administration agent was killed, and two officers were injured in a shooting aboard an Amtrak train in Arizona on Monday, according to reports.
According to The Hill, DEA special agent Cheri Oz confirmed the officer’s death, as well as the death of the shooter in a press conference in Tuscon.
"I am deeply saddened to confirm that one special agent died as a result of the injuries sustained during the shooting," Oz said. "A second special agent is in critical condition and a task force officer is in stable condition."
Tuscon’s Police Chief Chris Magnus said the shooting occurred around 8 a.m. local time Monday when officers were conducting a "routine check" aboard the stationary train, looking for illegal guns and drugs.
The assailant appeared to open fire when officers were detaining another suspect. Officers reportedly found the shooter dead inside a bathroom stall.
No passengers were injured in the shooting, and the situation is under federal investigation.

Based on absolutely no evidence (other than recent patterns), my theory is the deceased shooter was an FBI undercover informant working a drug cartel infiltration scheme.
[Breitbart] The U.S. Border Patrol’s Laredo Sector Horse Patrol Unit rescued a migrant who became lost on a ranch approximately 50 miles from the Texas border with Mexico. The agents utilized their horses to search for the migrant and then provided first aid before transporting him.
The Horse Patrol Unit “is an invaluable asset to both agents and people who need assistance,” Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent Matthew Hudak said in a tweet on Friday.
Hudak said the horse-mounted agents carried out a search for a migrant who was either lost or had been abandoned on a ranch near Hebbronville, Texas. The agents responded to a 911 call reporting a person lost in the brush, according to information obtained from Laredo Sector agents.
Human smugglers utilize the ranches in this area to move migrants around interior immigration checkpoints.
The chief said the agents found the man, a Honduran national, under the brush and provided first aid. They then transported the migrant on horseback, to an awaiting Border Patrol vehicle for processing.
“Every year, many undocumented individuals fall into distress due to the high temperatures as they travel through the arduous south Texas terrain,” Laredo Sector officials said in a written statement. “Fortunately in this incident, agents found the individual and provided him with the first aid needed to avert a heat-related injury.”
Horse Patrol Units of the U.S. Border Patrol have a long history of carrying out migrants rescues in remote and hazardous terrains all along the southwest border. Breitbart Texas regularly reports on the rescues and apprehension of migrants and the seizure of drugs carried out by the men and women of the Border Patrol who serve on horseback.
[Red State] In a number of articles penned in the following days, Donahue is characterized as "uniquely qualified" for that moment in time and generally depicted as a humble, understated leader of his division.
Unfortunately, everything isn’t quite as it may seem. During the last hours of the evacuation, according to troops under his command and as documented by photographs and witness statements, Donahue ordered all of the passengers aboard a C-17 transport plane to disembark so he could have a souvenir loaded onto the plane. That souvenir, or "war trophy," was an inoperable Taliban-owned Toyota Hilux with a fully operational Russian ZU-23 anti-aircraft autocannon mounted in the bed. Once the Hilux was loaded passengers were allowed back on the plane, but, of course, there wasn’t room for all of them. According to troops on the scene, at least 50 people and perhaps as many as 100 people were left at Kabul to make room for the Hilux.

[ToloNews] Zabihullah Mujahid, the deputy minister of information and culture, said that a ISIS hideout was eliminated in an operation by Islamic emirate forces on Sunday.
Mujahid said in a tweet that an operation was launched last night in Kabul’s District 17 in which the ISIS center was destroyed.
"All ISIS fighters present in the hideout were killed," Mujahid said.
So far, the number of casualties is not available.
A security source told TOLOnews that "10 members of a family affiliated with ISIS were killed in the operation."
Meanwhile, ...back at the revival hall, the congregants were being herded into the paddy wagon... people living in the area told TOLOnews that last night they heard sound of heavy and light weapons.
According to eyewitnesses, the operation started around 8pm and lasted until around 10pm.
Local residents have confirmed the shooting of light and heavy weapons in the area and have also reported two explosions.
Sources of the Taliban have also said that they have launched operations in PD17 to eliminate a hideout of the ISIS-K.
The operation has allegedly left the hideout destroyed and at least three killed.
The operation is conducted hours after a suicide bomber exploded his explosives in Eid Gah mosque where Taliban authorities and civilians had gathered for the prayer/mourning ceremony of the slain mother of Zabiullah Mujahid- spokesperson of the Taliban.
The explosion has reportedly left more than ten killed and over 20 more wounded.
Witnesses and AFP journalists heard blasts and gunfire in the capital at the time of the raid, and images posted to social media showed a large explosion and a fire at the scene.
Kabul resident and government employee Abdul Rahaman told AFP that a "large number" of Taliban special forces attacked at least three houses in his neighbourhood.
"The fighting continued for several hours," he said, adding the sound of weapons kept him awake all night.
A government cultural commission official, who asked not to be named, told AFP that five people died and 11 were wounded, adding the casualties included both civilians and Taliban members.
"We have also arrested three people in connection with the blast," he said.
According to the official, the device was placed at the entrance to the mosque and detonated as mourners were leaving after offering condolences to Mujahid and his family.
A witness at the mosque, who asked not to be identified, told AFP that Sunday's attack at the entrance was carried out by a single suicide bomber.
Just outside the eastern gate, a dark patch was visible on the ground where the explosion took place and bullet holes could be seen in a wall.
The witness said a group of Taliban members -- including senior figures -- inside the mosque grounds came under fire after the blast, taking two casualties.
He added that two Taliban units mistakenly opened fire on each other in the confusion following the explosion, but interior ministry spokesman Qari Sayed Khosti denied there had been any gunfire.
"A suicide bomber detonated his explosives among the crowd killing three people and wounding a dozen," he said.
[Garowe] Somali National Army (SNA)'s Special Forces (Danab) on Monday killed seven al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... , functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... holy warriors during a sting security operation carried out in the Lower Shabelle region, the southern part of the country.
Military commanders told SNA Radio that three al-Shabaab leaders were among those killed during the operation in Busley and Bulo-Alundi villages under the Janale area.
The SNA commanders said several bully boyz were maimed and their hideouts were destroyed in operations after the army received intelligence of al-Shabaab's presence in those locations.
The military officials said the security operation will be intensified in the area to wipe out al-Shabaab fighters who often carry out roadside attacks against allied forces in the region.
The snuffies have intensified attacks in Somalia despite government forces having made intensive operations against the forces of Evil in central and southern regions in recent months in an attempt to flush out al-Shabaab cells.
[AlAhram] At least 14 soldiers were killed and seven injured by bully boyz at the Yirgou military barracks in Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... 's Sanmatenga province on Monday, the government said.
The soldiers were targeted at 5 a.m. by a large number of heavily gunnies and showed ``great combativeness,'' Minister of Defense Aime Barthelemy Simpore said in a statement.
The government immediately launched an aerial and ground offensive, he said.
Locals near the attack said they were shocked, given there had been an increased military presence in the area recently.
``We are totally devastated because of what happened,'' Abdoulaye Pafadnam, the mayor of nearby Barsalogho town, told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named by phone.
``Many defense and security forces were sent to cover the area, and it was very encouraging to see that. We did not think that such an attack would happen in our zone....But when 12 soldiers get killed and equipment is taken away, it creates a big fear,`' he said.
Violence linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

As of Saturday there were six explosives detonated within seven days killing eight people and wounding several others, according to a tweet by Menastream, a conflict monitoring consultancy.
While attacks had previously been concentrated in the north and east, they're expanding across the country. At least three of the explosives last week occurred in the west and southwest including the first deadly explosive in the Cascades region, according to Menastream.
Conflict analysts say the intensifying of attacks are due to some jihadist groups trying to consolidate gains before the rainy season ends, when violence typically increases and that the spike in explosives is a response to more Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s by the army, said Heni Nsaibia a senior researcher at the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project.
``One could assume that the explosives are both a response of choice to the airstrikes, and a way to deter movements by ground forces, in order to force them to become more static.'' he said.
[BREITBART] A group of cartel gunmen shot and killed a Mexican local police chief who had just taken office hours earlier in the border state of Nuevo Leon.
The murder took place on Thursday night in the municipality of Cadereyta, just west of the Monterrey metropolitan area. A group of gunmen hiding in a vacant lot shot Police Chief Roberto Julián Saenz Garza as he walked outside of his home. Garza had just been sworn in as the new head for public safety in Cadereyta before the fatal attack. Relatives tended to Saenz inside of the house in the Padilla neighborhood while they called for paramedics who rushed him to a local hospital where he eventually died.
Law enforcement sources consulted by Breitbart Texas revealed that Cadereyta is a known drug corridor used by the Gulf Cartel to move drugs and migrants from Monterrey to the border city of Reynosa. Earlier in the week, the Metros faction of the Gulf Cartel had placed several banners throughout Nuevo Leon announcing that they would be stepping up their attacks against their rivals with the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas. One of the theories points to that criminal organization being behind the murder. Law enforcement sources revealed that they were also looking at the possibility that the murder may have been carried out by the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas since both criminal organizations have a long-standing turf war for control of the northern part of Nuevo Leon.
