Mexican Helicopter Fired Near Border

CLOSE CALL

By mistake.

In the middle of conducting an anti-drug operation near Arizona, a Mexican law enforcement helicopter accidentally crossed the border and fired two shots near U.S. border agents on Thursday. Mexican authorities later acknowledged the move was a mistake, a U.S. law enforcement official said on Friday. No one was hurt in the incident, which took place about 100 yards into U.S. territory and no one returned fire. The helicopter has since returned to Mexico.
