1 person shot in incident involving Border Patrol near the US-Mexico border
An altercation involving U.S. Border Patrol led to one person in critical condition after getting shot in Southern Arizona, according to a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
The shooting comes only three days after anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement agitator Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when he interfered with an operation while armed with a gun.
‘Patient care was transferred to a local medical helicopter.’
The unidentified person was shot near milepost 15 on West Arivaca Road in southern Pima County at about 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the Santa Rita Fire District.
The circumstances of the shooting have not yet been released.
“Patient care was transferred to a local medical helicopter for rapid transport to a regional trauma center,” said a statement from the fire department. “The incident remains under active investigation by law enforcement agencies.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is assisting in the investigation.
PCSD said they were conducing a routine investigation into the use of force.
“Such requests are standard practice when a federal agency is involved in a shooting incident within Pima County and consistent with long-standing relationships built through time to promote transparency,” said the agency in a statement.

Alex Pretti broke a rib in a previous altercation with feds a week before he died: CNN
The man who was shot and killed during a scuffle with federal agents last weekend had suffered a broken rib in a previous altercation with federal agents, sources claim.
Alex Pretti tried to intervene in another federal immigration operation and got tackled by federal agents about a week before his death, according to the CNN report.
‘That day, he thought he was going to die.’
The report was based on a person who spoke to Pretti about the previous incident but asked to remain anonymous to avoid retribution.
That source said the incident began when Pretti saw federal agents chasing a family, and he reacted by blowing his whistle and shouting at them. The agents tackled Pretti, and one leaned on his back, which led to a rib being broken, according to Pretti’s alleged comments to the source.
Pretti was released at the scene.
“That day, he thought he was going to die,” the source said to CNN.
Records reviewed by CNN showed that Pretti was given medication consistent with treatment for a broken rib.
It was unclear whether federal agents recognized Pretti in the second and lethal encounter, CNN reported.

The CNN report suggested that Pretti could have been known to federal agents because of efforts to collect information about protesters.
“One thing I’m pushing for right now … we’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding, and assault — we’re going to make them famous,” said Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, earlier in the month. “We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”
President Donald Trump sent Homan to oversee the operation in Minneapolis, and Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino is reportedly set to leave the city. Homan will report directly to Trump and is meeting with Tim Walz, the state’s governor, and Jacob Frey, the Minneapolis mayor, to negotiate their cooperation with the federal government.
