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.

Tijuana Police Official, 2 Others Slain

Nov 30, 12:44 AM EST

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) -- Gunmen attacked a police car in the border city of Tijuana, killing a police chief, his bodyguard and a secretary, authorities reported on Wednesday.

The shooting late Tuesday killed the head of police in the Mesa de Otay sector. Gerardo Santiago Prado was the fourth sector police chief killed so far this year in the Tijuana area. About a dozen Tijuana policemen have been killed so far in 2006.

Also killed in Tuesday's attack were Officer Hector Javier Inzunza, and Nancy Gomez Teran, who worked as a secretary in the Mesa de Otay police sector offices, the city's Public Safety Department said.

Witnesses said the gunmen in three vehicles cut off the police car, forced it to stop, opened fire and then fled.
