In its initial statement on the shooting, the Department of Homeland Security said an agent, acting in self-defense, fired his weapon after an "armed struggle" with a man who "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun." The officers tried to disarm the man, but he "violently resisted," the statement added. As with Good's death, eyewitnesses and video evidence contradicted the Trump administration's narrative.
