Rosarito Police Ambushed at 7pm in Taco Shop, One Cop and One Diner Killed. Tourists: Choose your taco stands wisely

This sucks. Four Rosarito cops eating tacos in a roadside taco shop were ambushed by four men in a van. One cop and a diner/bystander were killed. If you are eating in a Taco shop and cops come in to eat... eat fast! Don't know what this really means around here yet. My nephew's tell me there is conflict between the police and the local narcos because the Marinos are making each side rat the other out. This could be yet another cleansing process for Rosarito, too soon to tell. The gun used was very undersized, which is unusual for an ambush. 'Tis the season to duck and cover. Felicidades!
