LIVE OAK SPRINGS, Calif. — A U.S. Border Patrol agent opened fire on the occupants of a truck during a confrontation near an East County gambling hall Friday, seriously wounding at least one of them, authorities reported. The officer-involved shooting on a roadside in front of Golden Acorn Casino in the rural Live Oak Springs area was reported about 11:30 a.m., sheriff’s Lt. Mike Munsey said. The chain of events leading to the gunfire began when plainclothes personnel with the federal agency began following the pickup near the U.S.-Mexico line, believing the vehicle might be connected to smuggling operations, Border Patrol public affairs Agent James Jacques told a local TV station.
