Since guns kill. Where did the gun that was used to kill the agent come from and whose head will Issa use his rope and match on?

What a heart breaker that is.

The border patrol is not permitted to have any firearms other than rubber bullets and bean bag guns. One of the causes of Brian Terry's death is that the kilers had real guns and Terry had only a bean bag gun.

So how did friendly fire kill Agent Ivie?

Because they had bullets. There was a firefirght, not with rubber bullets.

Border Patrol Agent Fired First: Probe...

Union chief: US border agent apparently opened fire on fellow agents, killed in return fire
Oct 7, 2012 - Nicholas Ivie died when fellow agents returned fire

The head of the Border Patrol agents union says the agent killed last week in a shooting in southern Arizona apparently opened fire on two fellow agents thinking they were armed smugglers and was killed when they returned fire.

National Border Patrol Council president George McCubbin said Sunday that the two sets of agents approached an area where a sensor had been activated. He says they arrived from different directions early Tuesday when Agent Nicholas Ivie opened fire.

Acting Cochise County Sheriff Rod Rothrock confirmed the scenario but would not say if Ivie was the first to shoot. The shooting happened a few miles (kilometers) north of the border with Mexico, in a well-known smuggling area. The FBI announced Friday that the shooting appeared to be a case of friendly fire.
