A 27-year-old man was killed Monday after opening fire at a US Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, authorities said.

Ryan Louis Mosqueda had an assault rifle and was carrying a utility vest when federal agents returned fire on Monday morning, McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez told reporters Monday morning. Rodriguez said police received a call about the shooting around 5:50 a.m. and that Mosqueda fired dozens of rounds. The shooting took place at a facility across the street from McAllen International Airport, which was shut down as a precaution. Law enforcement said afterward they found a second rifle, more ammunition, and backpacks that the suspect had brought.
