A Border Patrol agent is recovering after accidentally shooting
himself in the foot while apprehending a group of illegal immigrants
near Patagonia.
This incident occurred shortly after midnight on Dec. 10, when the 37-
year-old agent from the Sonoita Station detained four suspected
illegal immigrants near Forest Service Road 235 and Palomas Canyon,
the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office said.
The agent "instructed the individuals to sit on the ground to lessen
the likelihood of escape," said sheriff's spokesman Lt. Raoul
Rodriguez, "As he secured the scene (the agent) felt his rifle
falling so he grabbed it unfortunately by the trigger causing the
weapon to discharge striking him on his left toe."
The rifle was an M-4.
The agent was taken to a spot along State Route 82 and Duquesne Road,
and subsequently transported to University Medical Center in Tucson.
"He currently remains on medical leave," said Lt. Mario Escalante, a
spokesperson for the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector.
Escalante said none of the undocumented immigrants who had been taken
into custody were injured during the incident, and that all of them
have been "processed for removal."
