Masked U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents fired at a San Bernardino man's pickup during a traffic stop on Aug. 16, according to attorneys. The pickup's bed held party rental supplies while the man drove with his adult son and son-in-law to make a delivery. Surveillance video shows a white truck veer in front of the pickup, agents surrounding the vehicle, an agent shattering the driver's-side window, and masked officers present. The driver accelerated away as three shots were fired; the pickup was later found with two bullet holes. Attorneys have forwarded video evidence to state and city officials and are seeking an investigation. Homeland Security never produced a warrant.
Attorneys for a San Bernardino man who was stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers on Aug. 16 are calling for an investigation after masked immigration agents shot at his vehicle during a stop. They also released surveillance video of the incident, which appears to dispute a key claim by the Department of Homeland Security - that the man drove his truck toward agents and injured them.
Video from inside the truck taken by Longoria's passengers shows masked agents surrounding the vehicle, as Longoria says in Spanish, "Don't open it" to his son in the passenger seat. One video shows a masked agent, wearing a "CBP" baseball cap, slipping on gloves right before another agent shatters the car window on the driver's side. Longoria then speeds off, and three shots ring out. The truck was found with two bullet holes, his attorneys said.
