Two more policeman gunned down on a major thoroughfare in Juarez (just across the border from El Paso, Texas).
That's just the lead story on the front page--links below the story detail ten more murders.
Just another day in Juarez.
Do we need to wait until it becomes commonplace in Lexington, KY before we develop the will to act?
[translation from today's El Diario]
Two members of the Police Ministry were shot and killed this afternoon.
The events took place at the corner of Adolfo López Mateos Avenue and Ejército Nacional.
According to early reports, an armed group attacked the agents while they were on official business.
It is presumed that a third agent was wounded, and dies after being taken to the hospital, but this has not been confirmed.
