The FBI is investigating a tense encounter between the U.S. Border Patrol and an armed militia man, the Valley Morning Star reports.
An agent is accused of firing several shorts at what turned out to be a militia member on private property.
The incident happened while Border Patrol agents were chasing immigrants near Brownsville and spotted the man holding a gun.
An FBI spokeswoman confirmed the FBI is reviewing the cases, which had not been investigated by the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office.
