The agents were travelling in a sports utility vehicle when forced to a stop by suspected gangsters in other vehicles. The agents apparently were identifying themselves when the assailants opened fire with assault weapons.
"They were moving when they were cut off," said Alonso Pena, the recently retired deputy chief of the immigration agency, who was informed of the details of the attack. "I think we will see an unprecedented response by the United States if it turns out to be a cold blooded murder of a U.S. federal agent."
