During interviews at a Border Patrol facility, survivors told consular officials that the men died from gunfire, and that their cover was flimsy and blowing off, enough so that the trooper in the helicopter could see them.
In an interview this summer, DPS Director Steve McCraw said it is imperative to protect troopers on the ground when patrolling the border.
“That's what our aerial assets are doing, and we need to protect those aerial assets and in doing so, we put a sniper on those,” he said of armed helicopter agents. “And we're really not apologetic about it. We've got an obligation to protect our men and women when we're trying to protect Texas.”
