U.S.: Border agent’s death suggests smugglers becoming more dangerous

  • 111 unlucky border agents have died in the line of duty since 1919
  • one of those agents was killed in a gunfight on the Arizona border last night
  • 17 months since an agent was shot and killed in the line of duty source
  • » Why this is different: In the past, when a drug deal’s been going on at the border, the drug smugglers usually run away. (No, it’s not like “No Country for Old Men” or “Machete,” strangely enough, guys.) But this attack, which killed agent Brian Terry, suggests that they’re becoming more willing to fight the authorities. And this is bad. The suspects are still on the run, by the way.
