CHO: Good morning, welcome back to STARTING POINT. I'm Alina Cho. The FBI is now investigating a shooting at the U.S.-Mexico border. Mexican officials say one of their citizens was hit and killed Monday. And border patrol agent statements say that border patrol agent pulled the trigger, a statement from the border patrol rather says agents were being pelted with rocks from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande and that a weapon was fired. Lawyers for former Chicago area police sergeant Drew Peterson insist their client did not kill his third wife Kathleen Savio. They do plan to fight the verdict from a jury that found him guilty of murder yesterday. Savio's 2004 death was considered an accident until Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, disappeared back in 2007. Peterson faces a maximum 60-year prison term when he is sentenced on November 26th. Lab reports show oil found on Louisiana's beaches after hurricane Isaac did come from the 2010 BP oil spill.
