A soldier with the Texas National Guard allegedly fired a gun near the U.S.-Mexico border, hitting a 22-year-old man across the border in Mexico.
Mexican authorities and an advocate for human rights say the bullet crossed the border from El Paso on Saturday near the Bridge of the Americas.
It then struck the man in the leg in Ciudad Juarez.
According to the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR), that man was not attempting to cross the border, but practicing sports with a group.
It would be a casus belli, but it won’t actually result in war. There’s a difference. No matter what the situation, unless the US gives the shooter over to Mexico, it’s a perfectly justified casus belli, just a useless one because there is no way that’s happening and more diplomatic ways to handle it.
