A gunman wearing black tactical gear stormed a U.S. Border Patrol station in South Texas where he got in a shootout with federal agents and police before authorities neutralized him.
UPDATE: 11:50 a.m. — Law enforcement officials identified the gunman as 29-year-old Ryan Luis Mosqueda from Luddington, Michigan.

At the time of his alleged attack on the Border Patrol station, members of the agency’s elite BORTAC team were present and quickly responded to the attack. A source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Breitbart Texas that one or more of the BORTAC agents fired at the man. It appears one shot struck the assailant in the head, instantly terminating the attack.
The source says the gunman fired at a civilian employee who rushed back inside to avoid injury. A McAllen police officer sustained a non-life-threatening wound to his knee and is reported to be in stable condition.
