Border Patrol slightly changes account of undocumented woman's fatal shooting
The Webb County medical examiner has identified the 20-year-old victim from the CBP shooting as Claudia Patricia Gomez Gonzalez. Her family released this photo.
United States Customs and Border Protection on Friday released a slightly different account of a border agent's fatal shooting of an undocumented migrant near Nuevo Laredo, Texas, raising new questions about what actually happened.
After initially reporting the agent was attacked by migrants armed with "blunt objects," the federal agency on Friday said only that the group "rushed" the officer after ignoring orders to get on the ground.
But its latest version of events makes no mention of blunt objects described in an agency statement issued after Wednesday's shooting in the border town of Rio Bravo.
