Near 11:50 the agents were in an SUV in a shopping center of the Gonzalez Ortega area when they were attacked by triggermen with long barrel weapons. The aggressors fled in a vehicle toward the highway that leads to Sonora. Though a police operation was mounted, only the vehicle was located in the Villa Florida section, one kilometer away from the site of the execution.

El Universo (Guayaquil, Ecuador) 7/27/08
(Note: though not a Western Hemisphere event, the following is reported due to its relevance)
Italy declared a national state of emergency on Friday due to the arrival of immigrants, while the government of Silvio Berlusconi continues ahead with its own regulations against the undocumented.
The Parliament said that the measure, which grants additional powers to police and local officials, was extended to the whole country to combat the persistent flow and exceptional arrival of undocumented foreign citizens. No further details were furnished.
Ignazio La Russa, Defense Minister, said the declaration will allow the construction of new detention centers for the clandestine immigrants.
La Prensa (Mexico City) 7/26/08
Pablo Aispuro, a Culiacan, Sinaloa, police officer, was deprived of his liberty on Friday afternoon. On Saturday morning he was found by a dirt road north of town, propped up and tied to a tree, murdered by gunfire. The attachment to this report is a photo of the victim and speaks for itself. The killers mocked his death with a cardboard sign left with his body; it basically reads: Im a horseman and thats why Im here taking in some shade. (Note: the sign uses the word charro, which in Mexican slang can mean both cowboy, horseman but also traitor)
