NACO, Ariz. (AP) - A Border Patrol agent was shot to death Tuesday in Arizona near the U.S.-Mexico line, the first fatal shooting of an agent since a deadly 2010 firefight with Mexican bandits that spawned congressional probes of a botched government gun-smuggling investigation.
The agent, 30-year-old Nicholas Ivie, and a colleague were on patrol in the desert near Naco, about 100 miles from Tucson, when gunfire broke out shortly before 2 a.m., the Border Patrol said. The second agent was shot in the ankle and buttocks, but was reportedly in stable condition.
Authorities have not identified the agent who was wounded, nor did they say whether any weapons were seized at the site of the shooting.
At a news conference in Naco, an FBI official said the agency still was processing the crime scene and that it might take several days to complete. The FBI and the Cochise County Sheriffs Office, which is also investigating, declined to say whether investigators have recovered guns or bullet casings.
No arrests have been made, but authorities suspect that more than one person fired at the agents.
"Its been a long day for us but its been longer for no one more than a wife whose husband is not coming home. Its been longer for two children whose father is not coming home, and that is what is going to strengthen our resolve" to find those responsible and enforce the law, said Jeffrey Self, commander of Customs and Border Protections Arizona joint field command.
Ivie, who is married, lived in Sierra Vista with his wife and their two young daughters.
The last Border Patrol agent fatally shot on duty was Brian Terry, who died in a shootout with bandits near the border in December 2010. The Border Patrol station in Naco, where the two agents shot Tuesday were stationed, was recently named after Terry.
Terrys shooting was later linked to the governments "Fast and Furious" gun-smuggling operation, which allowed people suspected of illegally buying guns for others to walk away from gun shops with weapons, rather than be arrested.
Authorities intended to track the guns into Mexico. Two rifles found at the scene of Terrys shooting were bought by a member of the gun-smuggling ring being investigated.
Critics of the operation say any shooting along the border now will raise the specter those illegal weapons are still being used in border violence.
"Theres no way to know at this point how the agent was killed, but because of Operation Fast and Furious, well wonder for years if the guns used in any killing along the border were part of an ill-advised gun-walking strategy," Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley said in a statement.
The Terry family said that the shooting was a "graphic reminder of the inherent dangers that threaten the safety of those who live and work near the border."
No Thanks, I am tired of Left Wing Radical Extremist like Obama
ROMNEY RYAN 2012
Answer: i live in az
thank God for Arpiao and pray for Romney to protect us from Obama and the retard erc holder
Obama was in congress in 2007 when the democrats took over both houses of congress and it was obama and the democrats that were in charge in for two years not allowing Bush to change Fannie and Freddy Mac.
The crash occurred in 2008 and Obama blamed Bush when Obama and other democrats were in charge. In 2009 democrats still had both houses in congress and had obama in the white house. They controlled both for another two years until 2011 and could have fixed their mistake but did nothing as unemployment went up. No jobs bills were passed, and no budget was passed but they did add trillions in debt.
political dissent is not racism.
Osama and Obama had friends that bombed the pentagon.
Obama a new chapter in America (Chapter 13 bankruptcy)

Congresswoman says killing of Agent Brian Terry is ‘a stark reminder that our borders are not yet secure’
WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords today issued the following statement on the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian A. Terry, who was shot and killed Tuesday after he encountered several suspects near Rio Rico, Ariz.
I am deeply saddened by the senseless murder of Agent Brian Terry, who was killed in the line of duty while protecting our nation’s borders.
This is a tragedy that deserves nothing less than the swiftest and strongest response. It is a stark reminder that our borders are not yet secure. The full efforts of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are focused on bringing to justice all those involved.

Why is Napolitano going to Ariz after agent killed Our borders are more secure today than they have ever been?
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will go to Arizona on Thursday after a Border Patrol agent was shot and killed in the state.
“The fatal shooting of Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry last night is an unconscionable act of violence against the men and women of the Border Patrol and all those who serve and defend our country,” Napolitano said in a statement. “Agent Terry was killed in the line of duty while confronting several suspects near Rio Rico, Ariz. It is a stark reminder of the very real dangers our men and women on the frontlines confront every day as they protect our communities and the American people.”
Napolitano, a former governor of Arizona, will meet with Border Patrol agents and employees in Nogales and Tucson on Thursday and Friday, a Homeland Security official said.
http://www.politico.com/politico44/perm/1210/heading_home_14ecb3ec-ea66-4f8d-bebc-3e4be0930c44.html
Janet will blame the border agent. AG Eric Holder will agree and bash Americans. Then Obama will join in and bash Americans and say this is why we need the DREAM act.
Answer: "Not all Illegals are criminals. "
-Yes they are. They all committed a felony to enter the country. Plus, most commit fraud or identity theft as well. Driving without a license, without insurance, etc.
"It wouldnt give the criminals citizenship."
-It would reward the crimes of their parents or whoever smuggled them into the country.

If illegals do jobs we wont do, why did 5 of them gun down a Border Patrol agent?
Dec. 15) -- Authorities continue to search today for a fifth suspect in the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, who was shot during a gun fight late Tuesday night.
Terry, 40, and a team of agents were in a remote part of the desert last night trying to track down a group of thieves who were believed to have been stealing from illegal immigrants. Just after 11 p.m., the agents encountered the men in an area north of Nogales, Ariz., known as Peck Canyon, and Terry was killed in the ensuing gunfight.
Four of the five men involved in his death have been captured, and the fifth is still on the loose. Surge Desk offers background on the fallen agent:
Early Life and Family
Terry grew up in the small town of Flat Rock, Mich., about 20 miles south of Detroit. He graduated from Flat Rock High School in 1988, azcentral.com reported. He is survived by his parents, a brother and two sisters.
Military Man
Before signing on to the Border Patrols Search, Trauma and Rescue team, known as BORSTAR, Terry had served in the military and was a Border Patrol agent for about three years. He was required to complete a special training program before he could join the rescue team, USA Today reported.
Border Patrol Beat
Terry was stationed out of Nogales Border Patrol Station near Tucson, Ariz., which is the largest Border Patrol station in the country, azcentral.com reported. Agents stationed there are responsible for covering 1,100 square miles of terrain and about 32 miles of the international border.
Job Duties
What does it mean to serve as a member of BORSTAR? According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security:
BORSTARs primary mission is to respond to incidents involving distressed agents and migrants along the border. These rescued individuals are predominantly undocumented aliens but also include agents and border residents. Search and rescue operations are conducted throughout the year in varying climates and topographies. ... These rescues vary in difficulty from simply locating victims and providing them with water to complex rescues requiring agents to rappel into remote canyons to assist victims and extract them by helicopter.
Answer: Couple of issues.
The first is the fallacy that ILLEGALS do the jobs that we won't do. They simply do them cheaper and with fewer (if any) benefits. A fact taken advantage of by unscrupulous employers. Pay more and provide benefits and Americans will line up to do those same jobs.
The second is that I don't see any connection between "doing jobs we won't do" and "shooting a border patrol agent". Unless you're advocating that Americans should gun down our own border patrol. And I'm choosing to believe that's not what you meant.
As to why they shot this man? The same reason that any criminal will kill law enforcement officers. They get in their way of committing crimes and they have no regard for human life. Their immigration status is merely a side note in that dynamic.
