South Texas sheriff's deputies on Thursday were investigating whether Mexican gunmen who fired on deputies and Border Patrol agents from across the Rio Grande had crossed into the United States.
Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino said 200 to 300 shots were fired from automatic weapons Wednesday night, but no one was injured on the U.S. side, and police didn't fire back.

"There is no doubt about one thing, that we were shot at from the Mexican side," Trevino said, "a barrage that lasted over five minutes, maybe even seven."
We in this nation show remarkable patience with what goes on along our borders, but if activities like this become commonplace, we will lose patience with it. Once we lose patience with it, we (and when I say we, I mean we citizens not we Government) will hold the Mexican government (and our own) accountable for these actions. Foreign individuals firing across the border on our security officials is a very war-like activity, and if it becomes common, Americans will view it as such.
