PHOENIX — A Border Patrol agent killed Tuesday was on a team pursuing a gang of bandits when he was killed, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has confirmed.
Napolitano told The Arizona Republic’s editorial board Friday that 40-year-old Brian A. Terry’s elite team was tracking the “rip crew” when a gunbattle erupted in a remote southern Arizona canyon just north of the Mexican border.
Other agents arrested four suspects immediately after the shooting. A Border Patrol spokesman said Saturday that agents were still searching the rugged area for a fifth suspect.
