San Diego Border Patrol Agent Shot in Chula Vista Attack
Last Friday, federal investigators were on a mad hunt to find the suspect involved in the shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was shot in the head in Chula Vista. Unfortunately, the suspect has left only a confusing trail of evidence.
Agent Robert Rosas, a 30-year-old married father of two was killed around 9 p.m. last Thursday when responding alone to a suspected border incursion near Campo, a town in rural, arid terrain in southeastern San Diego County. He was shot in the head and in the body and was dead by the time backup agents arrived, according to Keith Slotter, a special agent in charge of the FBI's San Diego bureau.
Rosas was discovered outside his patrol vehicle near the border fence, with blood evidence indicating at least one suspect and most likely more than that, and had serious injuries.
Federal officials have expressed growing concerns that the drug cartel battles affecting Mexico could spill into the United States and targeting U.S. law enforcement officials as a result.
Our condolences and best wishes go out to the Rosas family. We hope that the authorities can find the suspect and bring him to justice.
