<p>A man was killed after an exchange of gunfire with U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in southern Texas, according to the Department of Homeland Security.</p>
<p>McAllen police got a call reporting shots heard in the area of the Border Patrol McAllen Station at around 5:53 a.m., the FBI said in a statement. The police department alerted the FBI's San Antonio division and responded to the scene.</p>
<p>The city of McAllen identified the suspect as Ryan Louis Mosqueda. His last known address was in Michigan, and he is about 27 years old, McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said at a news briefing Monday afternoon.</p>
<p>"The armed suspect, an adult male, engaged the law enforcement officers responding to the scene and officers returned fire," the FBI said in the statement, adding that a responding officer was injured in the gunfire and "transported to a local hospital for treatment."</p>
<p>The officer is stable, the statement added.</p>
<p>According to the Department of Homeland Security, the suspect opened fire at the entrance of the federal government building, and Border Patrol agents and local police "helped neutralize the shooter."</p>
<p>A Border Patrol employee and two officers were injured, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said, adding that one of them was shot in the knee. All were taken to a hospital.</p>
<p>The incident is not an active shooter situation, and there is no threat to public safety, the FBI said.</p>
<p>"However, out of an abundance of caution, the FBI asks that the public avoid the area if possible," the FBI said. "The FBI is the lead investigative agency, and we will continue working with our local, state, and federal partners to ensure the safety of this community."</p>
<p>A motive was not clear, Rodriguez said.</p>
<p>"We do not know at this point in time whether there were any other associates with him or other persons involved," Rodriguez said. "That is part of the investigation that will ensue after today."</p>
<p>McAllen International Airport resumed full operations Monday afternoon "following a temporary closure due to off-airport safety concerns," the city of McAllen said on Facebook.</p>
<p>"We appreciate the community's patience as we prioritized safety during the closure," City Manager Isaac J. Tawil said.</p>
