CAMPO – At least three people were hit by gunfire Friday night on the
Mexican side of the border near Campo, authorities said.

The California Highway Patrol said several shooting victims came
across the border.

The shootings occurred some time after 10 p.m.

A Heartland fire dispatcher said he knew of three victims, but that
the Border Patrol had said there were more. The dispatcher said he did
not know if anyone was killed. Border Patrol officials were
unavailable to comment on what occurred.

Ambulances were sent to state Route 94, also known as Campo Road, near
the Mexican border west of Campo, at 10:20 p.m. Mercy Air took one
person to Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, the Heartland fire
dispatcher said.

In an e-mail from the San Diego Minutemen founder Jeff Schwilk, an
associate claimed Minutemen were in the area when shooting broke out
among Mexicans on their side of the border, and at least three people
were dead.

In Chula Vista, several residents called police after 11 p.m. to
complain about cars speeding through town. Police stopped one driver,
who turned out to be a Border Patrol agent in an unmarked car heading
toward the Campo scene from the Border Patrol's Chula Vista office.
