Fox News Digital has reached out to the fire district, the FBI, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of Homeland Security.
Tuesday's shooting was the second involving Border Patrol personnel in recent days. Alex Pretti, 37, was fatally shot by USBP agents during a confrontation in Minnesota as federal authorities were conducting enforcement operations.
It also came weeks after Renee Good was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent while allegedly attempting to ram him with her vehicle in Minneapolis.
Both deaths have triggered citywide protests and unrest, and violent confrontations between federal authorities and anti-ICE agitators.
