Authorities have identified the shooter as 27-year-old Ryan Louis Mosqueda, who reportedly unleashed numerous gunshots, wounding a police officer and resulting in another officer and a border patrol agent being hospitalized before being fatally shot by law enforcement, according to the Associated Press.

Department of Homeland Security provided an update to Fox News about the shooting.Â
DHS later posted an update on X about those who were shot in the attack.
“Earlier today, an individual fired shots at the entrance of the US Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas. The situation was contained by both Border Patrol agents and local police,” stated the post.
“In the incident, two officers and a Border Patrol employee sustained injuries, including one who was shot in the knee. All three have been transported to the hospital,” it continued. “The investigation, spearheaded by the @FBI, is still in progress.”
The attack comes on the heels of a disturbing Axios report that grassroots Democrats want more aggressive actions on President Donald Trump and his administration when it comes to the illegal immigration issue, RedState’s Rusty Weiss reported.

Several lawmakers chose to keep their identities shielded to offer candid assessments about what they’re seeing from their base at various town halls and speaking events. It’s more than likely they did so because some of that base is clearly unhinged.
“Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot,” when visiting ICE facilities, one House Democrat told Axios.
They added, “Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public.”
This insanity around ICE needs to be called out by Democrats and legacy media now before more people die, as RedState’s Brandon Morse wrote. And he’s right.
