LUKEVILLE - Government sources are telling KVOA in Tucson the manhunt is still on tonight after a gun battle.
They are reporting one man was captured on the American side and three on the Mexican side. We are still not sure if anyone was hurt or killed but there were dozens of Valley residents caught in the crossfire of a 20-minute shootout.
On the Mexican side of the border, waiting in line for customs, said they started to see swarms of officers surround a house a couple blocks away.
Then the gun battle begins. U.S. Border agents hear the shootout, seal the border crossing, and search for suspects on the american side.
So far, reports from Mexico show it may have had something to do with an illegal border crossing. U.S. Customs Chief Brian Levin spoke to 3TV by phone.
The border is back open tonight after being shut down for a couple of hours late this afternoon.
U.S. border officials are waiting on more information from Mexican officials on what happened today but Chief Levin told 3TV that in his time as a customs agent, nothing like this has even happened at the Lukeville port of entry.
