A man who opened fire on a Border Patrol building in Texas with an assault rifle on Monday has been shot dead by federal officers, police said. The suspect, identified as Ryan Louis Mosqueda, 27, fired “many dozens” of rounds at the building at around 6 a.m. local time, Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said, after he was reported missing two hours earlier. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, but additional weapons and ammunition were later found in Mosqueda’s car, which was parked in the station’s parking lot and spray-painted with undecipherable graffiti. No federal agents were injured during the attack, but a local police officer was struck in the knee by either a bullet or shrapnel and required medical attention. The local FBI office in San Antonio is investigating the incident but said there was “currently no threat to public safety that we are aware of.”
