In Miami, Florida, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was accidentally shot and killed at shooting range during a training exercise. The office was identified as 40-year-old Jorge Arias. He was acting as instructor at the time of the accident. However, other details have not been released.
“He had that passion for firearms, so he was a great firearms instructor,” said another border protection officer. “Not only was he a great officer, great friend, great family, and everyone that’s there is showing their support, not only to their fellow officer, but also to the family during this tragic loss.”
