Police Officer Killed, Suspects Escape (El Mexicano, 10/15/12, by Said Betanzos)
TIJUANA, BC - An agent of the Municipal police died and another was attacked after they made a routine stop to check occupants of a pick up in the El Triunfo delegation in the Sanchez Taboada colony.
The attack occurred around 6:30 PM yesterday when canine unit agents attempted the arrest of the pick-up driver. When approaching, one of the police was shot and called for the Ministerial police officers who came to assist.
It is unknown if the assault occurred with a hand gun or long rifle, as well as the caliber of the gun. After the attack the assailants fled. Red Cross paramedics arrived onto the scene and took one of the two injured uniformed men to the Hospital de la Benemérita Institución, who was interned in the "red room".
"He was shot in the neck and is very serious," reported one of the police investigators. Officers of the Municipal Police in the district implemented a search operation without success to locate and capture those responsible. Around 7:30 PM, the agent died, officially identified as Enrique Pérez Rosales, 39.
This year there have been more than a few gunshot attacks against Municipal police officers as well as many deaths in shootouts with criminals. During these last three years, of Mayor Jorge Ramos Hernandez administration, more than 40 officers of the Municipal police department have lost their lives in the line of duty, acting as heroic figures during the battle against of organized crime groups. http://www.el-mexicano.com.mx/informacion/noticias/1/3/estatal/2012/10/15/621295/matan-a-policia-huyen-asesinos.aspx
