A U.S. Border Patrol agent who shot a woman during a confrontation in Chicago last month appeared to boast about the incident in text messages to friends and colleagues, telling them he fired "five shots" and "she had seven holes," according to testimony revealed in federal court Wednesday.
Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum confirmed under questioning that he sent multiple messages referencing the shooting, including one that read, "Read it. Five shots, seven holes," attached to a news article from The Guardian about the case. In another message, he wrote, "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."
