Border Shooting Ivie Vigil
Family members of Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Ivie participate in Thursday Oct. 4, 2012 candlelight ceremony in Naco, Arizona. Nearly 100 people gathered in Naco for a candlelight vigil for a fallen Border Patrol agent. Ivie and two other border agents were fired upon Tuesday in a rugged hilly area about five miles (eight kilometers) north of the border near Bisbee, Ariz., as they responded to an alarm that was triggered on one of the sensors that the government has installed along the border.

how sad for the agent and his family left behind, may God give them peace and comfort and also to the other agents especially the one that might have been the one that has to live with this tragic accident. i send my sympathy to you in my prayers.
I'm happy that the truth has said that it was probably friendly fire and not someone from mexico as so many have assumed and made their hatred known.
