NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) - A U.S.-Mexico border crossing in Arizona has reopened following a shooting
in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection says a CBP officer shot the driver of a vehicle attempting to cross into Mexico.
The mayor of Nogales, Arizona, had told a newspaper Thursday night that the wounded man was killed
but CBP spokeswoman Teresa Small told The Associated Press on Friday he wasn't dead.
CBP planned to release additional information Friday.
A CBP statement Thursday night said the driver was taken to a hospital in Nogales, Sonora,
but did not provide his condition.
Reports say Nogales Mayor Arturo Garino said the shooting took place after the driver refused to stop
and tried to run over the CBP officer.

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized drugs and firearms
within a six-day period at the Presidio port of entry.
The officers seized 15 pounds of cocaine, 45 pounds of meth and 31 firearms during the six-day period.
CBP said the street value of the drugs is $389,000 and market value of the weapons is $14,675.
The first seizure was made at 9:30 p.m. on Friday when a 36-year-old Mexican citizen man driver applied for entry at the primary inspection station driving a 2011 Dodge Journey.
The vehicle was referred for an X-ray exam where anomalies were observed in the dashboard of the vehicle.
Officers removed six foil-wrapped bundles which tested positive for cocaine.
The second seizure occurred on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. when a 1993 Chevy Silverado
driven by a 62-year-old Mexican citizen arrived at the primary inspection booth.
The vehicle was referred for an X-ray exam and anomalies were observed in the spare tire of the vehicle.
After dismantling the spare tire, officers removed 50 bundles containing a substance which tested positive for methamphetamine.
On Wednesday CBP officers were conducting outbound operations when a 2006 Ford F-250 pickup
towing a 2011 Ford E-350 passenger van and driven by a 54-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen was selected
for an intensive inspection.
Inspection of the van resulted in the discovery of a non-factory compartment in the firewall of the vehicle.
Visual inspection of the inside of the compartment revealed a number of weapons in vacuum-sealed bags.
A total of 31 automatic ( semiautomatic ? ) handguns and 48 assorted magazines were removed from the compartment.
CBP officers arrested the three individuals who were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
