US News – A U.S. Traditions and Border Protection helicopter was compelled to make a crisis arrival in Texas after it was struck by gunfire from the Mexican side of the outskirt Friday.
Laredo Police were called by outskirt watch, who said “one of their helicopters had gotten gunfire,” said police representative Joe Baeza.
The helicopter was flying more than a zone infamous for unlawful outskirt intersections and opiates pirating.
“Our helicopter really arrived in Laredo and there were no wounds,” the U.S. Traditions and Border Protection said.
In an announcement, the FBI said the helicopter was struck a few times by gunfire around 5 p.m. amid an operational flight close to the Rio Grande in Laredo.
“The rounds entered and harmed the air ship, driving the pilot to make a crisis getting,” the FBI proclamation said. “The pilot maintained no wounds and no people on the ground were influenced.”
Preparatory signs are that the gunfire originated from the Mexican side of the fringe, Laredo Police said.
While its not bizarre to hear discharges, occurrences of cross fringe shootings are uncommon, Baeza said.
The FBI and Texas Rangers were preparing the shooting scene.
