Brian Terry was a Border Patrol agent that was shot and killed in Arizona near the Border with Mexico.

Jaime Zapata was an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent that was ambushed, shot and killed on a road in the interior of Mexico.

Victor Avila is an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent that was traveling with agent Zapata at the time of the ambush and survive the attack.

So to be accurate, there were two agents killed from two different agencies and one who survived the attack.
