The article is too long to translate, but to summarize:

him and Cortez took off in his pickup, with the police in pursuit. Cortez drive into a tourist camp and shut off his motor. The two police went in on
foot looking for him. Cortez restarted his pickup and ran over one of the police. The other policeman fired 8 shots at Cortez, hitting him 3 times and
killing him.
The state attorney general is investigating.

3 out of 8?
Heck, 3 hits out of 8 shots fired under stressful conditions ain't bad at all. Many (most maybe) stateside PDs would love that hit ratio!
Try it some time and see how easy it is!!!

Actually, I just assumed people would read the article and flesh out the details if they were THAT interested. The officer fired 8 shots which hit the
pick-up and three of which hit the perp. It was at night, and he was firing at a moving vehicle. Try shooting at night at a moving target when it's
too dark to see your gunsights.

Okay, but try not to drive too fast.
I'm a little troubled by the glib responses. A young man died! An a policeman may have been seriously injured.
That's not funny. It's tragic.

The cops have to buy their own bullets (probably from the narcos), and are only allowed 30 liters of gas per car for their entire shift........
THEREFORE:
car chases are slow and only shoot when you just got paid!

Later news report
http://www.ensenada.net/noticias/?id=12640
The story hasn't changed that much. It now says the Commander of Bahia de Los Angeles police, Adrian Rodriguez Torres, put 6 bullets into the back of
the pick-up. 3 bullets hit the perp and the one that killed him hit him in the neck.
It goes on to further say that toxology tests show the perp was driving under the influences of marijuana, methamphetamine and amphetamine. He
entered a tourist camp and was endangering the tourists.

Hardly tragic .... it is something that happens many times each day all over the world .... when you play with matches you will get burned .... I
feel compassion for the officer but not much for the tweeker.

hardly tragic unless it's your son/brother/neighbour....tweakers are human too...I do not condone this act but I do feel for his family. In these
small villages we all know and love and are related to someone who does meth and I for one would rather wish for their recovery instead of their
death. Many of us have done rash things under the influence or perhaps in a fit of anger or despair...most live through them...some don't. My heart
goes out to the family of this man and to the police officers as well.

Yes it is tragic when a family member suffers or worse. But......from my own observations and experience there is a lot of enabling going on in
Mexico with regards to drug addiction/abuse.
Tough love is a concept which should become more common in the Mexican family. How else is the problem going to get resolved?
my two cents

Tough love? The guy is DEAD!
I was just fishing in that little town the day before. It's not much of a town but the more I go there it starts to grow on me. I walked around said
hi to as many cute girls as I could bought tacos, beer etc.
I'm starting to get to know some of the people too. In fact I went to Jose Rosa's house to talk about fishing the evening before we went out.
I really want to go back and fish with Jose and maybe Guillermo if 1 or 2 of you will split his megapanga with me.
But I'll probably fish with Jose Rosa again in a Diaz panga. He's my captain in Bola. He's like an uncle to me and teaches me how to fish there.
It's a town with people and maybe some are troubled and make mistakes. But still people. Some are very good people.
