NEAR LA JOYA — A Texas Department of Public Safety sharpshooter opened fire on an evading vehicle loaded with suspected illegal immigrants, leaving at least two people dead, sources familiar with the investigation said. DPS spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger confirmed a DPS officer opened fire during the pursuit north of La Joya, but had no information as to whether the officer shot anyone inside the evading vehicle. “We do not want to speculate on any other issues at this time and have no further information,” Cesinger said in the email. However, law enforcement sources said troopers found three people shot inside once the smuggler’s vehicle stopped along Farm-to-Market Road 2221 near Mile 7 Road. Two of the suspected illegal immigrants died from their injuries, they said. “This is going to get big really, really fast,” a local law enforcement official said of the DPS incident. “You have a law enforcement official shooting at an unarmed alien. This is not an excuse for deadly force.” Cesinger confirmed two people were dead. She said a third person was sent to an area hospital for treatment, while six others were arrested. When asked if he was aware of two illegal aliens being shot by DPS in Hidalgo County, DPS Director Steven McCraw responded: “Of course I am aware of this situation.” He declined to comment further and directed further contact to the DPS press office. He also said he was currently out of the state. Authorities were still searching for others who fled the scene on Thursday night, Cesinger said. The pursuit began after a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game warden tried to pull over a vehicle suspected of smuggling immigrants Thursday afternoon along FM 2221. A DPS helicopter was called in to assist in the pursuit and a sharpshooter opened fire on the evading vehicle — a policy permitted by the agency, two law enforcement sources not authorized to comment on the investigation said. DPS troopers are the only law enforcement in the Rio Grande Valley region permitted to open fire during chases. Various agencies — Border Patrol, La Joya police, Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office — were present at the desolate, rural area alongside DPS well into the night. Authorities set up blockades at least a mile out from the scene. After dark, a red pickup truck with no apparent damage — except a blown, rear driver’s-side tire — was towed away from the area where police were working. The Texas Rangers are investigating the incident.

Two less illegal alien invaders for Obama or Romney to give amnesty to. Two men from Guatemala died Thursday when a Department of Public Safety helicopter opened fire on a red pickup suspected of smuggling illegal immigrants. A third person was hospitalized and six were arrested in the latest in a string of smuggling attempts that turned deadly while packed vehicles flee from state or federal authorities. Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Tom Vinger said the chase began when Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens attempted to pull over the truck they thought was carrying drugs. When the driver did not stop, the wardens called DPS for assistance. “During the pursuit, the vehicle appeared to have a typical ‘covered' drug load in the bed of the truck,” Vinger said. “DPS aircraft joined the pursuit of the suspected drug load, which was travelling at reckless speeds, endangering the public. A DPS trooper discharged his firearm from the helicopter to disable the vehicle.” No drugs were found in the truck. ...
Noooo fuck that, they are fucking lying trash. Those pieces of shit are sniping from helicopters!!! Against people that have not fired first. THE COPS ENDANGERED THE PUBLIC FIRING AT IT FROM THE AIR! REAL MEN OF HONOUR would of just followed them and picked them up at a safer time. They had a helicopter. I'm sure it would of never lost sight of the truck.. if it did use the god damn satellites and patriot act taps. God knows this worthless vile scum trash passing it self off as law enforcement has all of the tools at its disposal to do a much better job. But No! Instead they are too lazy and too impatient and all to ready to risk public lives and public safety in the glorious name of law enforcement. Never mind INNOCENT BEFORE PROVEN GUILTY. And thank god they were all illegal with no rights in the first place. Might as well excuse the officers of murder this time since it was just some dirty illegals. Fucking worthless I swear. The fucking public is not a war zone! The Authorities do not shoot at the public from helicopters unless the public has fired upon them first. Self defence is self defence. This was running down a few Mexicans with the best toys tax dollars could provide. it is shit.
No, fuck them: DPS aircraft joined the pursuit of the suspected drug load, which was travelling at reckless speeds, endangering the public What if those invaders plowed into a car of white Texans and killed them?? Happens all the time, you've read the after-reports. Haven't you had enough death from the invaders?? You run from the Texas Highway Patrol and they WILL shoot your happy ass.
From the very first story at that link: "The driver and passenger of the SUV that caused the accident fled the scene and haven't been found." The DPS/Texas Rangers, hell even the TPWD, are virtually defending the border by themselves, FedGov doesn't give a shit. From another forum: "John, by the time the DPS puts a helicopter in the air with a sharpshooter to STOP a fleeing vehicle there is more going on than a traffic stop. I still don't know if everyone fully (or even partially) understands the magnitude of organization and generational mindset that is driving this invasion. Think of how big an appetite the US has for Marijuana and Cocaine! That's how big this is! Forget the illegals, they are a diversion. While the DPS et al, are wrapped up chasing the trucks with illegals semi loads of contraband flooded in. So they're shooting tires, it won't stop, next they'll shoot drivers. Then The BGs [bad guys] will put a 14 yr old girl in the driver's seat with a gun in her ribs to drive. Then they'll shoot them all, and they'll shoot back...... and on and on and on.. They will escalate every time we do. They already shoot up teenagers at parties, and chop off the heads of every cop they can get their hands on in Mexico now. The only thing that separates them from us is a muddy little creek and out in NM and AZ, not even that! You guys that have been to the Middle East or Vietnam and have experienced the way those seeking or maintaining power will use any means to advance their agendas (IEDs, kid sappers, whatever)...... well, that's what is just south of the US border. I'm saying "just south of the US border" with the utmost of naive optimism because the reality of it is that it is already here. The Tejano population of Texas is being very quiet on this subject when you'd think they would be decrying the whole thing. They know what's coming and they don't like it either but they know what it is."

LA JOYA — Skid marks and a patch of dried blood in the gravel of a desolate country road Friday were about the only signs left of a deadly pursuit that happened here.
