A soldier with the Texas National Guard allegedly fired a gun near the U.S.-Mexico border, hitting a 22-year-old man across the border in Mexico.

Mexican authorities and an advocate for human rights say the bullet crossed the border from El Paso on Saturday near the Bridge of the Americas.

It then struck the man in the leg in Ciudad Juarez.

According to the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR), that man was not attempting to cross the border, but practicing sports with a group.

    No. That’s not at all right. Accidents happen, no two countries are going to go to war over one random person accidentally shot.

    It isn’t going to lead to a nice conversation, but that doesn’t mean it could (or should) lead to a war.
