A Texas National Guard soldier shot a migrant in the shoulder Sunday. An internal document doesn’t indicate the migrant had a firearm at the time. It’s the first known incident where a soldier shot and injured a migrant since Operation Lone Star began.
The shooting took place around 4:20 a.m. Sunday, after two Guardsmen joined Border Patrol agents and a trained dog who tracked a group of migrants to an abandoned house. The soldiers entered the building where three of the four migrants surrendered, the report said.
It’s not clear if the soldier intended to fire his weapon. Two troops assigned to the border mission have died in— known as “negligent discharges” in military parlance — since it expanded in the fall of 2021. “Governor Greg Abbott’s reckless and political decision to place our National Guard service members in situations where they have no specialized training and for which they rarely – if ever – have jurisdiction makes an already challenging situation potentially dangerous,” she said in a statement. “Maintaining this deployment will only lead to similar incidents or even worse — ones which could prove to be fatal. I expect a full, thorough and transparent investigation.
