美移民官在墨西哥槍擊事件中1死1傷

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent has been killed and another shot in the arm and leg during an attack in Mexico.

ICE issued statements saying the two were shot "in the line of duty" Tuesday afternoon while driving between Mexico City and the northern industrial city of Monterrey.

Mexican officials say they stopped at what seemed to be a military checkpoint, possibly set up by drug traffickers, as the military says it had no checkpoints in that area.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a statement saying she is "deeply saddened" by the incident and pledging the full support of her department to the Mexican authorities who are investigating. She said the United States remains committed to Mexico's efforts to combat violence within its borders.

美國移民及海關執法局的一位官員在墨西哥遇襲身亡，另外一位官員的手臂和腿部遭到槍擊。

移民及海關執法局發表聲明，說這兩個人星期二下午在“執行任務”時遭到槍擊，當時他們駕車行駛在墨西哥城和北部工業城市蒙特雷之間的路上。

墨西哥官員說，他們在一個好像是軍事檢查站的地方停下來，這個地方可能是毒品走私人員設立的，因爲軍方說他們在這個地區沒有設檢查站。

美國國土安全部部長納波利塔諾發表聲明說，她對這個事件“深感悲傷”並且承諾國土安全部將對正在調查此事的墨西哥當局提供全力支持。她說，美國仍然致力於墨西哥在自己邊境內打擊暴力的努力。
