Mexican teen killed by US Border Patrol.

Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Chihuahua Attorney General's office, said a spent 40-mm shell was found near the body
I hope they mean 40 caliber, not 40 mm. A comparison can be seen below (40 mm is on top, .40 is 2nd from the bottom).

Yeah, they fixed it last night after I posted that, and put this at the bottom of the page...

(This version CORRECTS size of spent shell to 40 caliber instead of 40-mm.)
I just checked again this morning, and now that is missing from the bottom of the article. I guess they just did it for bastards like me that exploited their mistake, but figure anybody reading the article today wouldn't have seen the mistake.

 
They've corrected to say .40 caliber.

Moral of the story: don't throw rocks at a federal officer.

 
officer probably was wearing an american flag of some kind :rolleyes:
