CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) — A Border Patrol agent fatally shot a woman Friday in suburban San Diego as he rode on the hood of her car after she ran into him, authorities said.
The agent fired after being driven a couple hundred yards on the hood, Chula Vista police Capt. Gary Wedge told The Associated Press.
The shooting occurred about five miles north of the Mexican border as plainclothes agents were looking to serve a felony warrant in the area to someone other than the woman, Border Patrol Deputy Chief Rodney Scott told U-T San Diego.
Scott said the agent was stuck atop the car as the woman drove.
"Fearing for his life, he discharged his weapon to get the vehicle to stop," Scott said. No other agents fired.
The woman was declared dead at the scene, and the agent was taken to a hospital. His injuries were not clear. Hector Salazar, a neighbor who witnessed the incident, said he saw a man in civilian clothes on the hood of a black car aiming a gun at the windshield.
Salazar told U-T San Diego the man started pulling the trigger, and he heard about five shots. Moments later, other plainclothes agents approached the car, he said.
The person named in the warrant the agents were serving was not apprehended, Scott said.
The FBI and Chula Vista police are investigating.

Example of a Ruger .380 (Yahoo! News)
At less than six inches and just under 10 ounces, the Ruger .380 is considered by gun owners to be a great little pocket pistol.
So small, in fact, that you can sometimes get one onto an airplane.
D'oh!
Yep, the New York Daily News reports that a woman flew 938 miles from Orlando, Fla., to Newark, N.J., on Thursday with a loaded .380 in her purse. United flight 15 was airborne before she realized what she'd done—and airport screeners had missed. How the Daily News said it unfolded:
She didn't tell anyone on the plane about the weapon during the flight, which left Florida at 8:19 a.m.
But when she landed at Newark Airport at 10:24, she immediately told a Port Authority police officer.
The newspaper identified the woman as a 37-year-old Orlando firefighter. New Jersey officials called Florida authorities, but the Daily News says the Essex County prosecutor declined to prosecute the woman because she self-reported the incident.
"She was visibly upset. She said she had a license to carry it and just forgot it," said Al Della Fave, Port Authority police spokesman. "The [Port Authority] officer took possession of the handgun and made it safe."
The Transportation Security Administration, meanwhile, had no immediate answers.
"TSA is aware of this situation and is reviewing the circumstances," said Lisa Farbstein, a spokeswoman for the agency told the Daily News.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The mystery surrounding the man behind the crudely produced anti-Islamic video that sparked violence in the Middle East deepened when he appeared in court and identified himself by yet another name.
Arrested on Thursday after authorities said he violated his probation from a 2010 check fraud conviction, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula told a judge his real name was Mark Basseley Youseff. He said he'd been using that name since 2002, even though he went by Nakoula in his fraud case.
The full story about Nakoula and the video "Innocence of Muslims" still isn't known more than two weeks after violence erupted in Egypt and Libya, where Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others were killed in Benghazi. Violence related to the film has since spread, killing dozens more.
Citing a lengthy pattern of deception and the potential to flee, U.S. Central District Chief Magistrate Judge Suzanne Segal ordered Nakoula to remain in prison without bond until another judge can hold a hearing to determine if he broke the terms of his probation.
"The court has a lack of trust in this defendant at this time," Segal said.
Prosecutors noted Nakoula had eight probation violations, including lying to his probation officers and using aliases. He could face new charges that carry a maximum two-year prison term.
Tucson police officers were at the scene of a fatal shooting outside Eegee's, 3872 N. Oracle Road, on Wednesday. The gunman was still at large late Wednesday.

Police have identified a man who was fatally shot Wednesday outside a north-side fast-food restaurant.
Police identifed the man as Jose Carlos Gonzales, 29.
Gonzales was shot shortly after 5 p.m. in the parking lot of Eegee's, 3872 N. Oracle Road, said Sgt. Chris Widmer, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
The shooter and Gonzales had arrived in the parking lot in separate vehicles. Both men met in the parking lot and a fight broke out. One of the men pulled out a gun and fired, Widmer said.
Witnesses told investigators that the shooter ran south on Oracle, leaving his vehicle in the parking lot. Detectives have identified a person of interest in the shooting, but his name was not released Thursday.
The vehicle that Gonzales had been in had other occupants who drove off, Widmer said. They struck another vehicle as they left, but no injuries were reported from that incident.
A police helicopter and canine units scoured the surrounding neighborhood in search of the shooter, but police did not find him.
Detectives were working to gather information about how the victim and suspect knew each other, and what the shooter's motive was.
