Off-Duty Border Patrol Agent Shot in Manhattan

An off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot in the face while walking through a park in New York City. Initial reports describe the suspects as "Hispanic males," and one has been arrested. Authorities say the incident appears to have been a botched robbery, though, given the Democratic Party's increasingly hostile rhetoric toward Border Patrol and ICE agents, a targeted attack cannot be ruled out. At this time, nothing is conclusive.

Local media outlet amNewYork's Dean Moses reports that the off-duty Border Patrol agent was shot in the face inside Fort Washington Park in the early morning hours of Sunday. 

Moses continued:

Officers from the 33rd Precinct rushed to the greenspace directly below the Washington Bridge after a 911 caller reported that a man had been shot.

Upon arrival at the scene, cops discovered the victim, a 42-year-old man, with gunshot wounds to his face and arm. One of the bullets entered his cheek, sources familiar with the case reported.

EMS responded and transported the victim to Harlem Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition and expected to survive.

The suspects are described as two Hispanic males who fled on a scooter. In a shocking twist, one of the alleged suspects walked into the 44th Precinct with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. That individual is now in custody. The second suspect remains on the run.
