Border Patrol agent shoots migrant in El Paso tunnel

"A Border Patrol agent shot and wounded a migrant who was crossing illegally into the U.S. through a drainage tunnel early Tuesday, the U.S. Border Patrol said. ... Tuesday's shooting was the second of an illegal immigrant in less than a week by the El Paso Border Patrol. On June 27, an unnamed agent fired at least one shot at a man believed to be a human smuggler after the agent was hit in the head with a rock."
