A Wisconsin man was shot and killed Wednesday after fleeing a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in West Texas and firing at pursuing law enforcement officers, authorities said.
The man, identified as James Douglas McMillan, 33, of Greenfield, Wisconsin, initially stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, about 90 miles southeast of El Paso, before driving away when an agency K-9 alerted to his vehicle and agents directed him to pull over for a secondary inspection, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
