News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

2 Tijuana cops, federal agent killed in attacks

TIJUANA – The bodies of two city police officers were found Tuesday morning, and later that day a federal agent was gunned down and another seriously wounded in their office.

The motive for the killings and whether they are related is unclear, but police in Baja California have come under heavy fire in recent days.

A top state public security official, Manuel Díaz Lerma, escaped injury after gunmen fired hundreds of shots at his convoy and lobbed a grenade at his bodyguards' car during an April 25 ambush in Mexicali. Two bodyguards were injured.

In the most recent rash of violence, the bodies of Tijuana city police agents Alonso Eduardo Mercado Carranza, 32, and Gustavo Reynold Aguirre Alvarez, 32, were found before dawn Tuesday on a road in the San Antonio de los Buenos district, according to a city police report.
