Breitbart – by Bob Price and Brandon Darby
A U.S. Marine was attacked while working on the California-Mexico border by three unknown persons. The Breitbart Border Team spoke with multiple sources operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Department of Defense (DOD), and reviewed an official document detailing the matter. Authorities are expected to publicly confirm the incident now that it has been made known to the public.
Trusted sources working under the umbrella of CBP and the DOD told Breitbart News that a group of three unknown individuals approached a Mobile Surveillance Camera (MSC) vehicle, opened the door, and attempted to pull the Marine from the vehicle. The Marine pulled his firearm and fired one shot during a struggle with an attacker, according to a source and an official document obtained by Breitbart News.
The Marine was patrolling the border in the El Centro Sector, Station Zone 2, on May 29 when the vehicle developed a problem with the surveillance display. The scene was roughly 7.5 miles from the U.S.-Mexico Border. A Border Patrol agent working with the two Marines directed one of the Marines to go with him for assistance. The second Marine waited with the vehicle. While he waited, the Marine was approached by a group of three unknown individuals. One of the three reportedly opened the door to the vehicle and attempted to take control of the Marine’s sidearm. During the struggle, the Marine fired his pistol one time, striking the forward-looking infrared display unit mounted on the dash. The attackers fled at that point.
Border Patrol officials currently believe no one was injured by the gunfire.
During border surveillance operations, the MSC vehicle operated in a blacked-out condition. This restricts situational awareness from inside the vehicle, according to the official document. Protocol calls for one of the pair of Marines to be on roving patrol outside the vehicle to provide security while the second operates the surveillance equipment.
The official document states that Border Patrol agents arrived on the scene within a few minutes and began a search for the three suspects.
Another source told Breitbart News that one or more of the individuals were captured about two miles away from the vehicle.
Breitbart News reached out to CBP and DOD for more information. A source at the Pentagon confirmed they are aware of the incident and are preparing a public statement. The CBP is leading the investigation.

What part does the government not get we’re at war on the border and not one ass hole in dc doing a dam thing about it . Impeach them all
Exactly!
But no the political hacks and sheeple still have this insane mindset that we have to do “Nothing by force, everything by reason and Law!”.
After all, “we are civilized and better than they are. We have to beat people with words and not with force because apparently words are definitely getting through to them (rolling my eyes and shaking my head)
We have to debate and talk about it to death until people say, “I don’t give a f*ck anymore. Do whatever you want” and then that’s when they win and start the whole process over again for the next outrage.
Wash – Rinse – Repeat.
Exactly NC . I am sick and tired of limp wrist sheeple people . Everyday we are been losing ground. The longer we wait the longer this war will be.. There is no helping the cowards and the voters they will turn on us because they are brainwashed . I am getting ready to load mag right now.
