Avoid La Mesa de Tijuana


I don't have a lot to say @ this time but since about 11AM, over an hour now, the Ermita area of Tijuana is reporting heavy shooting, bad news but it's the way it is right now. Armed gunnmen are inside houses in diferent areas and PEP, Army, City and Federal police are involved. Extreemly dangerous. Schools evacuated residents told to hit the floor.
NOT GOOD.
Bad guys are even shooting at the pilice helicopter. More later.
:wow:

Let's hope for minimal loss of innocents, but this is what it is going to take by the authorities. Clean out the nests.

Please keep us posted, FDT.

Dont do any "heroic reporter" things down there, though..................

No heroics here, got Sofia and have to go get the other 2 in 20 mins.
From the radio reports, 2 special forces armored vehicles are going in and the police radios (Police frequency's)are getting messages saying something like "We told you not to get involved with us" " Les dijimos que no se metieran con nosotros" " Ahora las van a pagar" "Now you're going to pay".
The worst part is that the bad guys arent in a house, they have been jumping from house to house and there are many of them. Will keep you informed after I come back from picking up more kids.

Back; radio is reporting all under control, only 100 or so cops left in the area, they are having preliminary reports of 4 injured, 1PEP, 1FED and 2 city, also 4 detained and 3 dead. very sketchy all unoficial, they are still searching houses in the area and they are still receiving threats over the police frequency so could be some got away.Wow, what a terrifying experience for the residents of the area.

Thanks so much for the detailed updates. The news in San Diego about the shootings is still pretty vague. Take care.

Thanks, all is safe for us right now.
Simone just called and of course did'nt know about this. Since she's not here tonight, I hope you all forgive me and I will start the show again on Monday, we'll take the rest of the week off from the radio. If something changes, we'll let you know.
First report was 4 detained, now it's about 17. one Federal oficer is aparently dead, they found (big rumor could be true) 6 dead people in one of the houses, suposedly previously kidnaping victims.
City hall was evacuated because of a bomb threat
