Update: 911 Tapes Released in Mexican Pirate Attack in TX Boundary Waters

"He was thrown off the jet ski and I couldn't pick him up to get him on mine."

The 911 call of a frantic wife whose husband was shot in the head while fleeing from Mexican pirates has been released. David and Tiffany Hartley came under attack while jet skiing on a Texas lake that is split between U.S. and Mexican territory. David's body has not yet been recovered:

A partial transcript of the call from KRGV-TV:

Dispatcher: Hello? Ma'am? Yes. Okay. Are you sure that your husband got shot?

Tiffany: Yes. In his head.

Dispatcher: Okay. Yeah. Was he thrown out of the jet ski that he's in the water or something?

Tiffany: He was thrown off the jet ski and I couldn't pick him up to get him on mine. (sobbing)

Oh God.

Dispatcher: Ma'am? Were you shot at on the Mexican side or on the US side? So it was the Mexican Side. Okay, did you see anybody?

Tiffany: There were three boats.
