A McAllen Police officer was shot in the leg during the attack. A Border Patrol officer and a non-sworn employee were injured, according to a Department of Homeland Security press release .
The suspect was identified by law enforcement as Ryan Louis Mosqued. He was killed by law enforcement outside of the building "who acted heroically to stop the shooter before there was any loss of life,” DHS reports.
“Yesterday’s heinous and unprovoked attack in McAllen could have been a bloodbath if not for the fearless actions of Border Patrol and McAllen law enforcement," said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "This vile assault on our officers is a disgusting escalation fueled by toxic rhetoric vilifying those who protect our borders. This must end now, and those stoking this violence will face consequences.”
The incident is being investigated by CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility in coordination with the FBI.
