“The FBI said Friday that a U.S. Border Patrol agent killed in Arizona earlier this week was likely a victim of friendly fire, CNN reported. According to The Associated Press, Ivie was shot while responding to a possible undocumented immigrant crossing at a portion of the U.S-Mexico border near Bisbee, Arizona when he and another two agents responding to the same call mistook each other for hostile gunmen. One of the other two agents was injured during the exchange of gunfire that killed Ivie.”
