An off-duty Border Patrol agent encountered a group of armed smugglers while he fished with his family in Laredo, Texas, on Tuesday.
The unnamed law enforcement official was with relatives along the banks of a river near Lago del Rio when three individuals, who identified themselves as “Federales,” pointed firearms at him and his family before returning to Mexico, Customs and Border Protection announced Wednesday. Neither the agent nor his relatives were injured during the incident.
The unidentified Border Patrol agent was wearing plain clothes and did not disclose his role in law enforcement.
The trio of smugglers were carrying small backpacks, which likely contained hard narcotics, said Carl Landrum, deputy chief patrol agent.
