Border Shooting at the Economy Inn
Alien smuggling is a dangerous occupation.

San Diego Police Homicide detectives are investigating an officer involved shooting at the Economy Inn Motel, from a member of the Border Patrol.
At 3:05 a.m., agents from the U.S Border Patrol were conducting an anti-smuggling investigation. They entered the motel room to arrest the occupants. The occupants were believed to be involved with alien smuggling.
In the room, agents found two Hispanic males, one laying on the floor and one lying in the bed. The lead agent ordered both males to show their hands. One of them complied and the other did not. The agent repeatedly ordered the second male to show his hands, both in English and Spanish.
This second male, who was covered by a blanket, continued to “defy the agent’s orders and began reaching for his midsection,” according to Lt. Manny Guaderrama.
The agent believed the male was reaching for a weapon and, fearing for his safety, the agent fired.
