Thanks for posting the link Kipi, probably would have missed that one.

I couldn't find it? Has it been removed?

The cool thing about this forum is that you can link to just about anything...unlike the paranoid TOB

I don't think so...but here's a cut and paste:


GUADALAJARA, Mexico – A wounded municipal police chief was finished off by gunmen while he was being transported to a hospital by a Mexican Red Cross ambulance over the weekend, prosecutors said.

Jesus Caledonio Humildad Galaviz was ambushed and shot Saturday night on a highway in a remote area of Jalisco state near the border with Zacatecas state.

The police chief was wounded in the initial attack and finished off later by the gunmen who ambushed him, the Jalisco state Attorney General’s Office said.

Humildad Galaviz was attacked on the highway that links Ixtlahuacan, where he served as police chief, with Cuquio, a town in the northern part of Jalisco, the AG’s office said.

The police chief, who had received threats from criminal organizations, was treated by Red Cross paramedics and loaded into an ambulance that headed for Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco.

The gunmen stopped the ambulance, forced the paramedics out of the vehicle and opened fire on Humildad Galaviz, killing him, the AG’s office said.

TY..

At least they didn't shoot the paramedics ( witnesses ) I wonder if Calderon is rethinking his war with the Cartels...

You realize that this was quite distant from Chapala, don't you?

I read the story in Spanish yesterday. They thought he was in an accidental car accident. His wife witnessed the whole thing. I'd wondered, how the assassins pulled this off. Were they shooting at the ambulance? I see this story in English says they pulled the vehicle over.

He was the Police Chief of Ixtlahaucan.... but I think there are two Ixtlahaucans.......was it the one on the way to Guad? It sounded like the story was coming from there. Anyone heard anything else?

Ixtlahaucan de rio or something not los miembros which is over the hill.

Yeah, it really had nothing to do with the Chapala area but news is news.

Del Rio is near the northern border of Jalisco, De Los Membrillos is between GDL and Chapala.

Glad it was the "other" Istlahuacan....It still surprises me that they left witnesses.
