美移民官在墨西哥枪击事件中1死1伤

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent has been killed and another shot in the arm and leg during an attack in Mexico.

ICE issued statements saying the two were shot "in the line of duty" Tuesday afternoon while driving between Mexico City and the northern industrial city of Monterrey.

Mexican officials say they stopped at what seemed to be a military checkpoint, possibly set up by drug traffickers, as the military says it had no checkpoints in that area.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a statement saying she is "deeply saddened" by the incident and pledging the full support of her department to the Mexican authorities who are investigating. She said the United States remains committed to Mexico's efforts to combat violence within its borders. 

美国移民及海关执法局的一位官员在墨西哥遇袭身亡，另外一位官员的手臂和腿部遭到枪击。

移民及海关执法局发表声明，说这两个人星期二下午在“执行任务”时遭到枪击，当时他们驾车行驶在墨西哥城和北部工业城市蒙特雷之间的路上。

墨西哥官员说，他们在一个好像是军事检查站的地方停下来，这个地方可能是毒品走私人员设立的，因为军方说他们在这个地区没有设检查站。

美国国土安全部部长纳波利塔诺发表声明说，她对这个事件“深感悲伤”并且承诺国土安全部将对正在调查此事的墨西哥当局提供全力支持。她说，美国仍然致力于墨西哥在自己边境内打击暴力的努力。
