Gunfight on the Tijuana/Ensenada Free Road

This is way too close to home.

Tijuana, Baja Mexico, is about 35-40 miles south of us (Escondido, CA.) Rosarito is adjacent to Tijuana (and is very near where my youngest son has a mobile home parked, facing the ocean, for what he deems a 'relaxing place,' and what makes his mother and I nervous wrecks whenever he goes down there. The 'free road' referred to below is the highway between Tijuana and Ensenada, which passes right by Rosarito and Rosarito Beach. Puerto Nuevo is just about 10 miles south of there and is where a lot of Norteamericanos go to buy Lobsters, cooked Mexican style (which I don't care for and think are overpriced).

I have been in this area many, many times. A pretty enough drive, with the ocean on your right as you drive down to Ensenada . . . but this kind of garbage I don't need in my life.

Patrick Mullen, an ex-patriate, living in San Antonio del Mar, kind of a gated suburban community adjacent to Rosarito, and the source of many of my news stories from Baja, Mexico, sends this story along with its translation and the original Spanish account.

Chilling. Lyle no like.

An armed attack against municipal police of Playas de Rosarito, left one suspect dead and another offender arrested in clashes on Friday night.

Reports obtained by Border News Agency, indicate that around 10 P.M. yesterday, two men aboard a Malibu model vehicle, fired on a patrol of the municipality, as they traveled on the Tijuana-Ensenada free road, near Puerto Nuevo.

The officers responded to the attack, killing one assailant and arresting another, who identified himself as Alonso Amarillas Beltrán, 38 years old, from the state of Sinaloa.

The prisoner was remanded to the appropriate authority; and dismisses the name of the person who died after the attack. Prevention officials reported no injuries.
