In Guerrero state six off-duty federal agents and a security officer were killed as they
sat in the "Hotel Las Vegas Bar”. Authorities said armed men arrived in
several trucks and burst into a bar in Ciudad Altamirano and with AK47s opened fire late
Friday. 7.62X3 Caps from AK47s were found at the scene.
According to initial
investigations, the murder could be related to the arrest of one of the members
of the La Familia Michoacana cartel that took place last week.
Both states on Mexico's western coast have seen a surge of violence in
recent years attributed to drug cartels.
The policemen were identified as
Edwin Lopez Casanova, Hector Escribano Escribano, José Benito Velazquez, Jose
Alejandro Mariano Juanchi Anwar Ortega Santamaría, José Fernando Aparicio Ocasa
Alcántar and Samuel Nieto, assigned to the security of the region of Tierra
Caliente.
Two elements of the Federal Police, Samuel Aparicio Fernando Nieto Moscosa and Alcantara, were wounded by gunfire in the attack. They were taken to the Clinic of the Americas and listed in critical condition. No prognosis was reported.
Note: there are reports of 7 police killed and 2 injured however there are also reports of 4 police and 3 civilians killed and 2 police injured. I suppose it makes little difference I simply wanted you to know that there is conflicting reports. Another version is 3 officers dead, 4 civilians and 2 injured officers.
There is also another version that came several hours after the news broke that 2 officers were getting money from an ATM and the gunman jumped from their trucks upon which the officers ran into the bar, they were unarmed, and the gunmen followed and opened fired. I find that version very unlikely.

Thanks for the map and the post
ReplyDeleteAre they that stupid? Why they can even be "off-duty"? Hitmen are driving in packs, carrying automatic weapons, hunting high profile police officers who are just strolling the streets with their flip flops and polo shirts. Just ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteHow stupid can you be,your a cop in Mexico and cops get murdered every fkn day.....at least sit in a position where you can see strangers coming from 30 -40 ft away,u know be on a fkn defensive....fkn stupid cop's,you would think they would of learnt something by now that they are a main target by organised crime...wake up!!!
ReplyDeleteAccording to some Mexican news sources only three of the men were federal police officers.

ReplyDeleteNo, LFM are making a resurgence....They were taught from the best...LOS ZETAS.
ReplyDeleteChivis how about the story about nacho coronels cousin getting cought in durango we would lyk to here about that n Thnx for yur wrk reall guud keep it up
ReplyDeletehonest cops? I mean really... why would any sane human want to be a cop in mexico knowing they will be murdered or told to work for the cartels or be murdered. I dont understand how they keep finding people to join the police force.
ReplyDeletethey were probably on a powertrip,and the familia had enough of em...aint no teling ,just my opinion..
ReplyDeleteacording to a Proceso note (a mexican news magazine), there were six injured: a civilian, three federal agents and two army soldiers, al of them off duty.
ReplyDeleteThe federal government is to blame. Obviously, they can not be everywhere, all of the time . They should make it clear to criminals that targeting police will bring an overwhelming federal response. When the government allows their own to be killed without repercussions, the killers take note and continue. I know every life is sacred but the Authorities should be protected enough to protect the rest.
