The Border Patrol agent who shot a 15-year-old boy near the Paso del Norte bridge Monday fired his gun several times, FBI officials said.
Earlier reports stated that the boy was 14 years old, but Chihuahua state police corrected his age Tuesday afternoon.
The agent shot at a group of Mexican nationals who had illegally crossed into the U.S. about 6:30 p.m. after they surrounded him and threw rocks at him, said Special Agent Andrea Simmons, spokeswoman for the FBI in El Paso.
