DUDE: Mexican military helicopter crosses border and shoots at American border agents

This isn’t good at all, and I’m not sure an apology by Mexican authorities is good enough. The man who flew that chopper needs to experience some consequences and our guys need to know it:

CBS LAS VEGAS – Border Patrol agents in Arizona were reportedly fired upon by a Mexican military helicopter that traveled across the border.

KVOA-TV reports that Mexican authorities were conducting a drug interdiction operation when the incident happened early Thursday morning on the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation. The Mexican chopper fired at the agents and then flew back into Mexico.

Art del Cueto, Border Patrol Tucson Sector union president, tells KVOA that they called and apologized for the incident.

“The incident occurred after midnight and before 6 a.m. Helicopter flew into the U.S. and fired on two U.S. Border Patrol agents,” del Cueto said in a statement to KVOA. “The incident occurred west of the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation. The agents were unharmed. The helicopter went back into Mexico. Mexico then contacted U.S. authorities and apologized for the incident.”

Andy Adame, Border Patrol spokesperson, said that Mexican authorities fired two shots at the border agents.

“Two shots were fired from the helicopter but no injuries or damage to U.S. property were reported,” Adame told KVOA.

Also, who knew Mexico had military aircraft?

UPDATE: Better yet, if I were president, this military helicopter shooting at my guys would have just bought our military soldier who sits in their jails on a phony gun charge a free get out of jail card.

If shooting at our border patrol agents isn’t enough leverage to get our guy out of their jails, then I don’t know what is.
