NACO - Reuters is reporting two suspects have been arrested in the killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Ivie , who was shot to death Tuesday.
The news source said a Mexican Army officer told them the suspects are being detained in the city of Agua Prieta, Mexico, a few miles away from where Ivie, 30, was shot to death.
ABC15 is working to confirm the information.
Ivie was killed after he and two other agents responded to a sensor hit a few miles north of the Arizona-Mexico border just before 2 a.m. Tuesday, seven miles east of Bisbee.
The two other agents involved included one who was shot in the buttocks and ankle, but is expected to be OK.

I doubt if it matters if they even have the right people. Killing Border Agents like that is bringing heat down on them and they don't want people paying attention to the border.
They were going to find someone FAST to pin it on.
Get it out of the news before America decides to actually protect our border and put the military on it.
It is a shooting war and the U.S.A. isn't even armed.

Still waiting for Univision to report the whole story.

I guess the real bullets used by the Mexican criminals are no match for the rubber bullets the putrid farce of a Homeland (NON) Security Secretary, Napolitano, arms our Border Patrol with puts us at a disadvantage.
How is this still happening after she declared the border secure?
