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 – Two state police officers died of gunshot wounds yesterday after an attack by armed assailants in a residential neighborhood. But the apparent target, a high-level official with the Baja California State Preventive Police, escaped serious injury.

The attack occurred about 6:50 p.m. in the Los Lobos section of eastern Tijuana. According to a statement released late last night, the two agents had been guarding Osiel Garcia, an assistant director of the state police force. The officers were shot while standing outside a residence while Garcia was inside, the statement said.

The killings are the latest attack on law enforcement officials in Tijuana. More than a dozen police officers with city, state and federal agencies have been shot in Tijuana since September.
