By KTSM News 1

Friday, May 9, 2008 - The shooting happened at around 10:30 last night just one block from the Paso Del Norte bridge. Two men were shot and killed after a fight. Three police agents were also shot while responding to the scene. The bridge was closed off for some time while federal agents and soldiers responded. One person was reportedly arrested. The agents are now in the hospital. No word on their condition.  A half hour later, police and emergency crews were called to the Paso Del Norte bridge to transport a 30-year old man to hospital. Police say the man had been shot in the torso and was carried to the bridge. It is still not known if the man was involved in the same shooting.
