Heavily armed gunmen have attacked and wounded Mexico City’s police chief in a brazen operation that left three dead.

Police stand guard at a crime scene where the Mexico City’s police chief was attacked by gunmen in the early morning hours, in Mexico City, Friday, June 26, 2020. Heavily armed gunmen attacked and wounded Omar Garcia Harfuch in a brazen operation that left an unspecified number of dead, Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday.

“This morning we were attacked in a cowardly way by the CJNG,” García tweeted, using the Spanish-language acronym for“Two colleagues and friends of mine lost their lives,” García wrote. “I have three bullet wounds and various pieces of shrapnel. Our nation has to continue standing up to cowardly organized crime. We will continue working.

Lara said the gunmen had been divided into four different cells and were given ski masks and guns the night before. They were taken to the ambush points at 4 a.m. to lie in wait for their target. Friday’s attack came two weeks after rumors swirled for a day that Jalisco’s leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, better known as “El Mencho,” had been captured or killed — though officials later denied that. Oseguera is the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s most-wanted fugitive, with a $10 million price on his head.

If it is the Jalisco gang, the government would have to target them like it did with the hyper-violent Zetas gang between 2010 and 2013, Hope said. They have become a systematic threat to government authority. There should be “an exceptional response, dismantle the criminal group ... like they did at the time with the Zetas.”

While authorities rarely like to name cartels, especially in Mexico City, the Jalisco gang’s name has been coming up more and more.

Let's go find a holistic social worker to stop the violence of heavily armed gunmen.... People are STUPID, and easily led to the trap that destroys and kills them.

You know who’s to blame? All those in US who buy & consume tons of illegal drugs from Mexico & other southern countries. It’s pretty sad when US citizens cause such violence in Mexico!

Sounds like America if Joe Biden takes office!!
