Mexican Helicopter Fired Shots In Arizona Near Border, U.S. Says

Source: REUTERS

PHOENIX (Reuters) - U.S. authorities are investigating two shots that were fired from a Mexican helicopter when it crossed the border into Arizona, although no injuries or damage to U.S. property were reported, the U.S. Border Patrol said on Friday.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in a statement, said the incident took place early on Thursday at the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation reservation in southern Arizona.

"A Mexican law enforcement helicopter crossed approximately 100 yards north into Arizona nearly eight miles southwest of the Village of San Miguel," U.S. border officials in Tucson said.

"The incident is currently under investigation," they added.

Let's declare war on Mexico, beat them, and MAKE them take Texas back. The last time we fought them, we lost.
