A member of the Texas National Guard shot and injured a man in Mexican territory along the Rio Grande in an incident that is currently under investigation. The soldier was deployed as part of Operation Lone Star and the shooting occurred as the soldier was apparently trying to protect a group of migrants from an attack by individuals on the Mexican side. Despite the rarity of such incidents, the use of force may be justified if the lives of the migrants were in immediate danger.
