At least one U.S. Border Patrol agent fired at a group of people in Mexico reportedly throwing rocks across the border last night, San Diego police said. It wasn't known if anyone was wounded.

Police said they were called to assist agents along the border in the Tijuana River Valley area south of Monument Road and Hollister Street about 8 p.m.

An initial report was that a group of people in Mexico were throwing rocks at agents and that one or more agents had shot someone. No victim was found on the U.S. side, police said. No information was released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection last night.
