One man is dead and another is wounded after the Mexican military allegedly shot them while they were fleeing into the United States.
It all happened just east of Sullivan City late Thursday afternoon.
Law enforcement officials told Action 4 News that the men are believed to have been involved in a gun battle south of the border in Diaz Ordaz, Tamaulipas.
Mexican military officials did not cross into the United States during the incident but opened fire on the two men as they fled across the Rio Grande River.
Law enforcement said a body was found on the American side of the border.
Paramedics rushed the wounded man to a local hopsital. His condition is not known at this time.
Three more suspects were reported to be in Border Patrol custody.
Action 4 News will provide more information as it becomes available.
