Eight people were injured when they fell from the wall along the U.S-Mexico border in the Tijuana River Valley early Saturday morning, a San Diego fire official said. About 12:50 a.m., U.S. Customs and Border Protections asked San Diego Fire-Rescue Department to respond to spot at Monument Road and Hollister Street because several people had fallen from the wall, fire department spokesperson Monica Munoz said.
