Either these agents were snooping around on the wrong person's ranch or they were too close to the right person's illegal activity. There has been no word of any arrests so the shooter must have gotten away.
Texas has the Stand Your Ground law and it's a little stronger than other versions of it, as I understand it.The shooter in this case may have been justified, according to this law.
