Another police officer fell in Nuevo León today.
Enrique Barrera Nevárez, public security director in the city of Linares, was shot with high-powered assault rifles while leaving his home this morning, http://www.elnorte.com is reporting.
As would appear to be the norm with this type of shooting, the killers escaped.
According to the newspaper, the police chief had been threatened and a previous attempt on his life failed earlier this year.
Linares is southeast of Monterrey on the highway to Ciudad Victoria.
The killing is the 38th in the state, a record, and the 6th of a law enforcer so far this year, according to El Norte.
Last week Marcelo Garza, one of the Nuevo León state's leading organized crime investigators, was shot dead outside a community center, sparking fears that warring drug cartels are increasingly targeting government law enforcers.
I bet they have killer retirement plan..........
***Cesspool Alert***
I think it's gone on for far too long and they should abandon the mission.
Old Mexico Ping!
Good thing we have a secure border to protect us from Mexican gangs, thugs, and criminals!
