Shootout Closes US Mexico Border Crossing Near San Diego
U.S. authorities have closed the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego, on the border with Mexico, after a shootout earlier today. San Ysidro is the nation’s busiest border crossing with roughly 40,000 vehicles cross there daily from Mexico.
Three vans loaded with suspected illegal immigrants tried to speed through the crossing Tuesday afternoon, drawing gunfire from at least two U.S. agents, authorities said.
