A US Border patrol agent was shot in New Mexico on Thursday by a suspect inside a car that officials believe was being used for human smuggling.
The officer, assigned to the Lordsburg station, was shot in the chest around 11:30 a.m. by someone in a vehicle on State Highway 46, US Customs and Border Protection said in a press release.
The agent, who returned fire as the vehicle sped away, was wearing body armor at the time and survived, officials said.
Soon after the shooting, the vehicle rolled over in a crash a few miles up the road, according to CBP.
Six people inside of the vehicle were arrested, including two who were airlifted to a trauma center in El Paso, Texas.
