Question on a shooting

[Rayden]

Seconds after that shooting, a second man fired at the agent from the liquor store’s front door and fled, Ortiz said.

Remember that robbers and other BGs often arrange for backup. Our friendly neighborhood Border Patrolman was lucky. A lesson for the rest of us, if we ever find ourselves in a similar situation - watch out for the backup.

That's a good point, and sometimes their backup might be inside and not outside.

Yet another pointless shooting by a juvenile. But this one is beyond the pale.

"Out of concern for the safety of the agent and his family, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials would not release his name or details about where he works."

So if it were a civilian, it's perfect fine to ignore the safety of the said person and his/her family and disclose everything except his/her SSN? What has the world come to?

This is what we call a non sequitur. They didn't say ANYTHING that should make you assume what you're assuming.

Maybe not but what about Joe Horn? They didn't hesitate to publish his name and details about where he works or lives.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials released Joe's name?

I think what he's trying to say is that when a civilian is involved in a shooting, his name, address, place of work, everything is all over the news.
