A CBP firearms instructor was shot and killed during a training class at a Miami-area gun range Wednesday.
The shooting occurred shortly before 10:30 a.m. at the range west of Miami, NBC News reports.
When police arrived, they found the wounded officer, who was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Details of the shooting were unclear Wednesday evening.
Speaking to reporters, CBP spokesman Michael Silva described the officer as a husband and “just all-around great guy.”
The officer was assigned to Miami International Airport.
“Great officer, a great family, and it’s a tragic loss,” Silva said at the news conference, according to live video by WPLG-TV of Miami.
Police are investigating.
