Were Mexican Army Members Involved In Phoenix Home Invasion and Murder ?

[Woodmonkey]

Earlier today on KFYI’s The J.D. Hayworth show, Phoenix Law Enforcement Association President Mark Spencer was the guest and said that men involved in a Phoenix home invasion and murder on Monday may be current or former Mexican Army members that were hired by drug cartels to perform home invasions and assassinations.

The Monday morning home invasion resulted in the death of the homeowner. When police arrived, they discovered between 50 and 100 rounds had been fired at the house.

Spencer stated that a police officer told him that one of the men captured said they were completely prepared and ready to ambush Phoenix police but they had run out of ammunition.

Phoenix Police have not confirmed the men were current or former Mexican Army members.

Sgt. Joel Tranter said one suspect revealed that he had “prior military training,” but there was “no credible evidence” that any of them were active in the military.

They were criminal narco terrorists who would go to prison on either side of the border. And they obviously did not have discipline if they were out of ammo. Sounds like they were making a statement with this. Much like Columbian or Vietnamese gang criminals do in this country. If it were a simple hit they would have found a way to ambush this person. In El Paso, the narco terrorist will sometimes kidnap someone on this side of the border, and they end up dead in Mexico.

It is a case of one gang making a hit on someone.

What were the facts at the scene?drugs guns,was there any return fire.did the deceased have any priors,owe money,or have any association with the mexcans?If they fired that many rounds to kill one person they were obviously poorly trained,or trying to make a statement to another gang.

They never said much about the victims so I don't know if they were gang members, or innocent victims.

biased media hype perhaps.
