A man identified as Ryan Louis Mosqueda, 27, is killed after opening fire with an assault rifle at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, injuring a police officer. The incident occurs shortly after Mosqueda’s father reports him missing and expresses concern about his son’s psychological state and access to weapons. As authorities engage with Mosqueda, he targets federal agents exiting the building, prompting a fatal response from law enforcement.
Further investigations reveal that Mosqueda drove to the facility in a vehicle with graffiti and had significant weaponry, ammunition, and tactical gear present at the scene. The McAllen Police Chief confirms that the investigation is ongoing, led by the FBI, and emphasizes there is no immediate threat to the public as authorities explore the motive and circumstances surrounding the attack.
