Border Patrol agent in ‘use of force' incident in West El Paso
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — U.S. Border Patrol said an agent was involved in a 'use of force incident' and apparently used a stun gun late Thursday night, July 17 in West El Paso. The incident happened at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday at Sunland Park Drive and Constitution/J.C. Machuca Street. Border Patrol said that one of its agents used what they called a 'less-than-lethal electronic device.' KTSM spoke with a person who identified themselves as a witness who said Border Patrol pursued a person into the apartment complex and used a stun gun after the suspect refused to identify himself or cooperate. Video recorded near the complex showed an individual in handcuffs and escorted to an El Paso Police unit. Border Patrol did not say if anyone was arrested in their brief statement. El Paso Police acknowledged the alleged incident when KTSM asked for more information about an individual being taken into custody at the Westside incident. There were no injuries, Border Patrol said. The incident is under review by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Professional Responsibility. Border Patrol did not say what led up to the incident. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Young males "targeting" women in Pittsburgh-area community with stun guns and BB guns, mayor says
Young males are "targeting" women in Wilkinsburg with stun guns, air pistols and BB guns, the borough's mayor said on Thursday. In a post on Facebook, Wilkinsburg Mayor Dontae Comans said law enforcement shared "concerning intel" about males shooting women with stun guns, air pistols and BB guns. The mayor's post, titled "Public Safety Alert," did not say if there were any injuries or arrests. It also did not release any more information about the incidents. "These senseless acts are not only dangerous, but they also threaten the safety and peace of our community," the mayor said in the Facebook post. Comans is reminding people in the borough to be aware of their surroundings and walk in groups during the evening. Comans said police in Wilkinsburg will be increasing patrols to ensure public safety and "deter this reckless behavior." The mayor added that if anyone has information about this, call 911 or their local police department. "See Something, Say Something: Your voice could protect someone else," Comans posted on Facebook. "We are committed to protecting our residents especially our women, and holding those responsible accountable," Comans added. "Let's continue looking out for one another. Safety is a shared responsibility."
