Arizona Deputy Sheriff Shot By Illegal Immigrant at Traffic Stop

It’s easy for armchair quarterbacks and political opportunists to sit back and criticize Arizona’s new immigration law.

But, Arizona has a huge problem with illegal immigrants that the Federal government refuses to address in a serious way.

As a Latino myself, I say to the people of Arizona, “Do what you gotta do to keep your citizens safe! Don’t worry about big mouth agitators making a lot of noise. There’s more people in this country that support law and order, than support lawlessness and irresponsibility.”

And I say to my Latino politicians, shame on for letting yourselves be led by the nose by the Democrat party for a few crumbs they throw your way.

A Pinal County Sheriff's deputy was shot in the stomach Friday by an undocumented immigrant off Interstate 8, according sheriff's officials.

Lt. Tami Villar told 12 News that the search and rescue deputy was investigating a load of marijuana in the desert and was confronted by five suspects. She also said the wounded deputy is expected to survive.

Deputies believe at least two people were armed with long guns and at least one handgun. The deputy, whose name was not released, was patrolling alone in what is considered a high-traffic drug and human-smuggling corridor.

Villar said the deputy radioed dispatch about 4:30 p.m. to say he had been shot off Interstate 8 and Arizona 84, but he could not be found when authorities arrived at the scene.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office dispatched a helicopter and members of its SWAT team to Pinal County to assist in the case, said department spokesman Lt. Brian Lee. Lee said at 5:45 p.m. there were reports over the police scanner that suspects were shooting at a police helicopter. Lee did not know which agency was operating the helicopter.
