A Tijuana man who last weekend said he was shot shortly after crossing the border illegally into the United States is sticking to his story, despite some reports that he may have been shot in Mexico.
Carlos Alfonso Estrada Martinez, 38, was one of two Mexican citizens shot in separate incidents during the early hours of Saturday in the border region between Tecate and Campo.
In statements he made to officials, Estrada had said he was about 200 yards inside the U.S. when he was hit about 1 a.m. A second man who was shot about an hour later said he was assaulted just south of the border fence in Mexico.
Yesterday, Estrada was recuperating from a gunshot wound to his left buttock at his Tijuana apartment.
He said he was among a group of six people crossing into the United States and had just made it past the border fence. He said they were walking north when he saw a laser dot tracing up and down the front of his body.

Jim Chase, the Oceanside resident who organized the three-week border watch, said none of his people have fired any weapons. But he added that while he turns away people he considers extremists, he has been running into people conducting their own patrols who are not with his group.
“It doesn’t scare me, but it is scary from the standpoint of these are people who have not gone through me to pledge to be nonracist and nonviolent,” Chase said earlier this week.
An Oath. Good thinking Jim.
