  Something is not right here. The Agents should have been in voice contact with one another at all time. It doesn't make sense for them not to be able to co-ordinate their positions and movements so that they are not confronting each other from different directions. These Border Patrol Agents who put their lives on the line every day to protect us, need the best "State-of-the-Art" communication system for their safety. The Secret Service has ear phones and wrist radios, why don't our Border Patrol Agents have them too?
  God Bless Agent Ivie's Family and Loved Ones in this time of Sorrow.
  God Bless our heroic Border Patrol Agents who put themselves in Harm's Way to Protect the Border of the United States.

  not nearly as much as apparently failing to identify your target before shooting cat. fatigue rarely plays a part in this... too much adreniline. I think I know where you are headed with your statement and that is pure speculation on your part, and my part as well. We weren't there.

  I wonder how much fatigue played a factor in this incident?
