ARTICLE SNIPPET: “MOSCOW — Jason Hamilton, the gunman who killed three people and wounded two others before taking his own life in Moscow over the weekend, had a violent history and once told a psychiatrist if he were to commit suicide he would take a large number of people with him.
Moscow Assistant Police Chief David Duke said Monday morning that Hamilton, 36, had a long criminal history and had undergone a court-ordered mental evaluation in February in Lewiston. During that evaluation Hamilton talked about his thoughts on homicide and suicide and said that if he did commit suicide, he would try and take a large number of people with him.
After authorities confirmed Jason Hamilton’s identity troopers with the Idaho State Police went to his home at 1020 Julienne Way to conduct a welfare check on his wife Crystal. Inside a bedroom they found Crystal dead from a single gunshot wound to the head.”

Summary
About 150 state police officers in Mexico’s northern Nuevo Leon state went on strike May 21, demanding higher salaries and more resources to fight organized crime, which has claimed the lives of six state police officers in the past four days. Given that drug cartels have increasingly targeted police, army and government personnel in response to a federal campaign to combat organized crime — and are showing no signs of stopping — the security situation in Mexico likely will continue deteriorating.

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.
