EL PASO, Texas — A Texas National Guard member has been suspended after he shot and wounded a man on the other side of the U.S. southern border last week, Mexico's president said Thursday.
Calling the shooting "a violation of international law," President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said he received a report on the guard member's suspension, without specifying which agency it came from.
The guard member says he shot the Mexican man in defense of a migrant who the man was allegedly seeking to harm, and the guard member fired first into the air, López Obrador said at a news conference.
A different account of Saturday's shooting was given by Enrique Rodriguez, a spokesperson with the Chihuahua state prosecutor's office, who says the 22-year-old Mexican man was shot while jogging.
