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.

MONTERREY, Mexico, March 14 (Reuters) - Gunmen shot and killed the police chief of Mexico's richest municipality, his wife and two others in an attack on a jewelery store in the northern city of Monterrey on Wednesday, police said.

Gunmen killed Benjamin Espinosa, the head of police for Monterrey's wealthy San Pedro Garza Garcia district, while he and his wife were buying jewelry at a shop in the city center, police said.

Another customer and a security guard died in the attack, which had the hallmarks of a drug gang killing, according to police sources who declined to be named for safety reasons.

Local media showed photographs of the four bodies on the store's blood-spattered floor, while several bullet casings were scattered on the busy street outside.
