Border patrol agents shooting into Mexico, killing civilians

Washington Monthly reports that “over the past five years U.S. border agents have shot across the border at least ten times, killing a total of six Mexicans on Mexican soil.” According to the report, border patrol shootings were a rarity before 2009, with only a handful occurring. But after an increase in border patrol agentst between 2006 and 2009, “a disturbing pattern of excessive use of force has emerged.”
