(May 26, 2006)--Authorities say gunmen armed with AK-47 assault rifles killed a police officer in the violent Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo.
Police spokesman Raul Galindo Vera says the gunmen riddled Jesus Segovia Sanchez with bullets late Thursday night.
Segovia's partner, Sergio Omar Escobedo was wounded in the shootout.
He was listed in stable condition at a hospital after being shot four times, once in the side, once in the right leg, and once in each arm.
Police are investigating and have made no arrests.
Segovia's the eleventh law enforcement officer to be gunned down this year in the city across the Rio Grande from Laredo.
