Just the Penasco police doing their job. There was a thief working the Mirador, breaking into homes. He was apprehended during a burglary. He was apparently armed, just like in the US. He wounded a police officer during the arrest. The officer's partner shot the thief and the thief died. Nothing related to the cartel stuff. I knew about it but did not report it here because of the usual hysteria that follows. I had hoped to avoid the flurry of postings from partially informed people who like to ask repetitive questions and make OMG comments and predictions of doom and destruction. He was a thief. He was caught in the act during a flurry of burglaries. The police were on high alert in the Mirador due to the burglaries. They reponded to a call from a citizen. The thief had broken a window to a vehicle and was caught in the act. The thief was carrying a handgun and shot and wonded one of the 2 responding police. The second police shot the thief after he shot his partner. Just like on live TV in the States. Yeah it happend, not a good thing but the system did what it was supposed to do. It has been reported on the local news.
NOT A CARTEL RELATED EPISODE OF VIOLENCE. NO BEHEADINGS. NOTHING TO CHATTER ABOUT.
You sound a little defensive there, makes me wonder what else you are not reporting because you think we might react in a way that you do not approve of.
They had gotten rid of the useless night security guy (a kid) a couple of months ago who I always thought was involved in some of the thefts/break-ins...and they had an older guy who was actually walking around and checking things....
Has anyone noticed that anytime criminals are killed or left for the police neither Roberto or the Korean fish buyer are around...Is Bob the Green Hornet?

Ha, ha, ha , very funny. Why would I be defensive? Not my job to report on anything. I did pass gas earlier, does that help? Residents here see stuff differently than occasional visitors. We are not impacted by the reports of cartel violence that you see in the US. I posted in hope of reducing the sensation seeking responses, second hand thoughts, "Someone said, blah, blah" , hysteria stuff. I do report on stuff important to visitors, road conditions, pot holes, etc. If I knew about danger to visitors I'd report it.
Nice day today, not too windy. Semana Santa will be in full swing. Glad that party pooper Rob will stay at home and not come down to ruin the party.
hi...Thanks for the report on the shooting. Hea, its news! For a while there, I thought RPwas haven!Still, do like to hear about the real world at Rocky POINT! Good and the bad!Yes, it may be in the local Spanish papers, but I'm to not yet up to par yet reading them, and bet the RP Times will not have it to read in English.yup!

It sounds like the action started in Playa de Oro...then went to San Rafael, with the shots exchanged in San Rafael....and then the thief jumping off the deck from Space 47 back over to the Playa de Oro side........at least that's the way I understand the translation! De Frente - Periodismo en serio » MUERE PRESUNTO LADRÓN BALEADO POR POLICÍA
Very astute observations !! Nice of you to report.
I apologize for spreading false information, apparently the officer was NOT shot.

Well yeah, need all the details nailed down here. Did they find the spent cartridges? Exactly WHERE was the thief shot on his body and how many times. Was there a lot of blood and can we go see the blood stain. How long did he live and was he conscious or not. What was his blood type? What color was his hair? Did he clip his toenails or were they long? Important details the bored americans want to know. I heard it was space 216 not 217 ! Lets get the facts.
Johnny is on a long vacation to Banned Camp. Maybe he can lawyer up somebody that will believe him over there. I find it funny that somebody so educated and self-righteous doesn't know the difference between a group of critters (i.e., "herd") vs. something that went in one of his ears and apparently right out the other (i.e., "heard").
Thanks, Roberto. I appreciate learning about these incidents up front, so that if / when the media bites into it and makes drama, or friends ask about it, I'm not caught with, "Really? Haven't heard . . . will check it out." I'd rather be able to say, "just a not-so-smart bandito who challenged police in their line of duty." Period. The story gets extinguished. We move on.
