McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Authorities say a 27-year-old man was killed after opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas. McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez told reporters Monday that Ryan Louis Mosqueda had an assault rifle and was carrying a utility vest when federal agents returned fire. Rodriguez says police received a call about the shooting just before 6 a.m. and that Mosqueda fired dozens of rounds. The shooting took place at a facility across the street from McAllen International Airport, which was shut down as a precaution. Law enforcement said afterward that they found another rifle, ammunition and backpacks that Mosqueda had brought.
