Border Gunfire

Once again gunfire that might have been prevented by a border fence comes across our border. This time it lasted at least 5 minutes:

HARLINGEN South Texas sheriff's deputies on Thursday were investigating whether Mexican gunmen who fired on deputies and Border Patrol agents from across the Rio Grande had crossed into the United States.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino said 200 to 300 shots were fired from automatic weapons Wednesday night, but no one was injured on the U.S. side, and police didn't fire back.

My main question is whether the shots were fired by or with the consent of Mexican government forces or if it was an independent gang.
