A Customs and Border Protection officer shot a driver who refused to stop at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The shooting on the night of Feb. 7 came after the driver tried to run over the Border Patrol officer, prompting the officer and possibly other officers to fire as the driver tried to speed away, entering Mexico, Nogales Mayor Arturo Garino told the Arizona Daily Star.
