More Stray Bullets in Juarez

El Paso Times - Authorities on both sides of the border don't know whether a 16-year-old boy who was shot in a leg and found on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande late Thursday was wounded in a shootout involving federal police in Juárez.
Border Patrol agents found the teenager, whose name has not been released, with a gunshot wound to one of his legs about 11:15 p.m. He had crossed the dry river and was found between the river and the border fence near Fonseca Drive and Cesar Chavez Border Highway. The teenager was taken to University Medical Center for treatment and remained sedated most of Friday, Border Patrol agents said. His condition was not made public.
Border Patrol spokesman Ramiro Cordero said on Friday that the teenager is from Mexico and has spoken with Mexican Consulate officials. He has also met with relatives at the hospital. Cordero added that authorities were waiting for the shooting victim to be released to talk to him about the incident. Mexican Consulate spokes-man Luis Adrián Sosa said that officials had met with the teenager but that he was not authorized to share any information. Read full story here: News New Mexico
