| Two Chihuahua state police agents were shot to death early Friday morning in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, according to Mexican news accounts. Sergio Manuel Torres and Elias Mendez Lozano died at the scene where armed suspects travelling aboard two vehicles fired on the agents, killing them instantly. Reports say armed suspects aboard a Ford Expedition and a Dodge Dakota fired on the two agents near 120th street and the Chihuahua-Parral highway in Los Pinos colony, and continued the assault for several blocks before they fled the scene. Both victims were internal affairs agents based in Juarez. Mendez Lozano was the chief of the division. News reports say the agents were dispatched to the area where the initial encounter took place after emergency systems reports armed men in the area. A subsequent police air and ground search turned up the Ford Expedition abandoned and damaged by gunfire near the intersection of calles Gardenias and Miguelitos in the Campesina colony. |
