A Border Patrol agent was shot in the face and arm last night in New York City, with PIX11 saying he was off-duty when it happened.
He is expected to recover:
It’s being reported, via scanner traffic, that this shooting was via two Hispanic males:

I wonder if he was truly off-duty and maybe still in his uniform, or if he’d been identified somehow by activists and this was a targeted shooting. Or if it was just random? I seriously doubt the latter, but we can’t completely discount it until they reveal more details about the shooting.
Glad he’s going to survive this and I hope he heals up 100% from this shooting.
