Customs and Border Protection officer shot and killed at Florida gun range
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was shot and killed at a Miami-area gun range, CBP announced Wednesday.
Officials said the shooting was reported at Trail Glades Range, at around 10:30 a.m. ET. The officer was taken to JMH Ryder Trauma Center, where he died from his wounds, officials said at a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
The officer was not immediately identified. Officials said that he was an instructor at the shooting range, and was assigned to Miami International Airport.
Investigators have not said how the shooting occurred, or if anyone might face charges in connection with the officer's death.
Miami-Dade police Detective Luis Sierra said, "At this point, we are not discarding any possibilities. Homicide is working all angles."
One witness, Dario Pedrajo, told CBS Miami that CBP officers train at the range every Wednesday, and that shooting occurred "in a part of the range used by law enforcement officers."
