Edgar Millan Gomez, current chief of Mexican Federal Police, was killed Thursday morning as he returned home to his apartment in Mexico City. He was shot at least ten times by an unknown gunman. Mexican police have a suspect in custody but have not released his name. Millan, 41, had only been police chief since March, but had a long and distinguished record as a policeman, including cracking several notorious kidnapping rings. He is the latest casualty in President Felipe Calderón's ongoing war against organized crime. Since taking office last year, Calderón had aggressively gone after drug lords, kidnapping rings and other forms of organized crime, which continues to plague Mexican society. Let's hope that this valiant policeman serves as an inspiration for other Mexican lawmen to continue the fight to bring these vicious gangs under control.
