More violence against a police official in Mexico, where enforcing the law has become increasingly more dangerous.
The Associated Press is reporting that the acting head of that country's federal police was gunned down early Thursday outside his home in Mexico City.
According to the AP, the Public Safety Department reported that Edgar Millan Gomez was shot 10 times. He died hours later in a hospital. Two bodyguards also were wounded in the attack.
Police have a suspect in custody. He reportedly has a record of car theft but that they have not determined a motive yet. Police reportedly are investigating a possible link to drugs.

When will someone in authority admit that Mexico is having an internal war between the government & the factions that have actually been running this country(cartels)? When will the US Government wake up & understand this violence is spreading across our open borders and will be a high cost venture to eradicate?
As long as "Anywhere there is a Mexican, it is Mexico" logic is allowed to prevail, this isn't a Mexican problem, it has become ours. I live in the US, in Texas not Texico. The rise in Hispanic population in TX last year should worry people about what elements are actually sneaking in.
