FBI spokeswoman Jeanette Harper said in a statement Monday that both agents were found late Saturday night in a culvert near Van Horn and that both had traumatic head injuries.
Details remain scant in what the FBI describes as a "tragic incident" that left one Border Patrol agent dead and another in serious condition. The FBI said both men were found injured late Saturday in a culvert area - a tunnel structure used for water drainage - in southwest Texas.
