Officer Down…Protecting Our Border
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Agent Robert Rosas, who was shot and killed in the line of duty Thursday night.
Rosas was responding to a border incursion in a rugged area of San Diego known as Campo. Authorities said at least one other agent in the field heard gunshots after Rosas left to respond to the call and couldn’t reach Rosas on his radio afterward. Rosas was found dead shortly after by backup Agents.
Evidence at the scene indicates at least one suspect and possibly more had serious injuries, perhaps by gunfire. The FBI is investigating and recently said they have 4 possible suspects who may be responsible. Let’s hope they capture the right suspects and “bring them to justice”. (I know that sounds like our former President, but I fear that Obama may claim Agent Rosas was acting “stupidly” by doing his job , and protecting our borders)
Rosas was the first Border Patrol agent to die in a shooting in more than a decade.
Rosas, a three-year Border Patrol veteran, had a 2-year-old son and an 11-month-old daughter, said Richard Barlow, acting chief patrol agent for the Border Patrol’s San Diego sector.
The death of Rosas is a vivid reminder that we are engaged in a serious effort to secure our border and that thousands of Border Patrol Agents risk their lives every single day to protect and defend our nation.
Be Safe!
