A soldier with the Texas National Guard allegedly fired a gun near the U.S.-Mexico border, hitting a 22-year-old man across the border in Mexico.
Mexican authorities and an advocate for human rights say the bullet crossed the border from El Paso on Saturday near the Bridge of the Americas.
It then struck the man in the leg in Ciudad Juarez.
According to the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR), that man was not attempting to cross the border, but practicing sports with a group.
Eh, no, it’s not. Any idea how many people are killed by stray bullets, each year? Those parties where people start shooting in the air… Those bullets have to come back down at some point, and they do, and unfortunately too often on people too.
It may have been on purpose, it may not. Claiming it’s impossible is nonsense
