Seventeen days after a mass shooting at the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino that left two dead and five injured, a large concrete wall now stands at the casino’s main entrance.
The barrier, accompanied by new mobile guard stations and heavily armed patrols, appeared suddenly, signaling a dramatic security escalation.
The Eagle Pass News Leader is reporting that the upgrades follow a high-level security meeting that included the DEA, ICE, FBI, local authorities and Mexican officials. The presence of these agencies may reflect heightened threat assessments, though details remain undisclosed.
