CASA GRANDE, Ariz. -- Authorities in Pinal County are searching for a deputy who radioed for help and said he had been shot in a remote desert area about 50 miles south of Phoenix.
Pinal County Sheriff's Lt. Tammy Villar says the deputy radioed in to say that he had encountered a group in the desert and had been shot with an AK-47 assault rifle in the abdomen.
Villar says law enforcement officers from across the area were trying to find the deputy, who apparently was in the desert somewhere near Interstate 8 and Arizona 84 south of the town of Casa Grande.
The area is used by both drug- and human-smugglers who bring their wares through the remote desert from Mexico north to Phoenix. The circumstances that led up to the shooting are unclear.

Either way this has been a problem for a long time and it's kind of bull# that only now it's getting media attention.
I mean a while ago in Campo, California a border patrol agent was shot multiple times and killed.
www.freerepublic.com...
For whatever reason the news media did not report how he was actually killed.
My father told me that he was not allowed to tell me how the agent was killed.
Because my father said that, I knew something was up and did additional research.
The murderers were a group who faked fleeing from the Border Patrol agents like a standard group of illegals, he pursued and sent a radio message saying he was going to capture and detain them. Fifteen minutes later he was shot to death.
They actually set him up in a planned ambush, this was omitted from almost ALL sources of news, which just said he was shot to death.

Why wasn't this as big a deal as this police officer being shot? Why does this only matter now?
Shouldn't the fact that a planned ambush was carried out against federal law enforcement have been a bigger deal?
