Deputy Accidentally Shoots Himself And Border Patrol Agent In The Ass
Explanation with video:
Monday, August 4, 2008- Questions surround an incident Monday morning at El Paso’s Federal Courthouse.
A Deputy U.S. Marshal’s gun accidentally went off in a hallway on the 3rd floor of the courthouse just before 11:00 AM.
The bullet struck the Deputy U.S. Marshal as well as a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Marshal’s service will only confirm the gun accidentally discharged, though we are not yet being told how or why.
Both the Deputy Marshal and the Border Patrol agent were taken from the building in stretchers.
They were each loaded into waiting ambulances and driven to the hospital. Both suffered only minor injuries.
