   A U.S. Border Patrol agent fatally shot a gunman who opened fire   
   early Monday near the southern border, immigration officials   
   said.   
      
   The agent was in Sunland Park, New Mexico, about a mile from the   
   border with Mexico and near El Paso, Texas, when he approached a   
   group of four around 6 a.m. One of them pulled a gun and started   
   shooting, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.   
      
   The agent returned fire, struck the shooter and provided aid   
   until emergency responders arrived, CBP said. The shooter later   
   died at a hospital.   
      
   No agents were injured. No further details of the shooting were   
   released, including the names of the agent and suspected shooter.   
      
   The CBP Office of Professional Responsibility said it will   
   conduct an internal investigation of the incident.   
      
   CBP reported 15 use-of-force incidents with a firearm in fiscal   
   year 2018 involving its agents. The agency has reported 208 use-   
   of-force incidents involving a firearm since fiscal year 2012,   
   according to recent figures.   
      
   Statistics for 2019 have not been released.
