A 27-year-old man was killed Monday after opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, authorities said.

Federal agents returned fire at the man, who had an assault rifle and was carrying a utility vest, McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez told reporters Monday morning.

Rodriguez identified the suspect as Ryan Louis Mosqueda.

Law enforcement said they found another rifle and more ammunition. Rodriguez said the man’s motive is currently unknown.

One officer was injured in the shooting. Rodriguez said it was unclear if the injury was from shrapnel or a bullet.

      If you’re last name is “Rodriguez” and you are still working for Border Patrol, you’re a traitor.

        I’m Mexican. I shit you not, I’ve seen a very brown Nazi sporting a bright red t-shirt with a black swaztika and a shit-eating grin while strutting downtown in Guadalajara. I’ve never wanted to kick someone in the teeth so bad in my life.

          There are a few random internet people who just live in my head for no reason. Back in like 2016 there was a guy on reddit who would sign all his posts with: Latinos for Trump. I was like: all right, this is the most blatant russian AstroTurf i have ever seen. And i did for the first time ever look through his comment history. Mainly to feel smart, there was nothing I could do with that information. I went back so far, and it was apparently just an average, seemingly nice latino dude who was super into trump. And i never really figured it out why.

          We will need a variant of the Darwin Awards for that sort of person. Minorities collaborating with Nazis is a truly special kind of stupid.
