CNN —A Mexican citizen was shot and wounded in the leg “while in Mexican territory” Saturday by a Texas National Guard member who was in the El Paso area, a news release from Mexico’s Foreign Ministry said.
The National Guard member who discharged a weapon during a “border-related incident” was assigned to Gov.
It’s the second incident involving a Texas National Guard member assigned to Operation Lone Star firing their weapon and injuring someone.
In January, a guard member shot a migrant during a struggle.
The Texas Rangers, a division of the Texas Department of Public Safety, is investigating Saturday’s shooting, said Ericka Miller, a spokesperson for the department.
