ROSARITO BEACH – Authorities are investigating a shooting Tuesday morning in which Mexican marines wounded a U.S. Marine who was driving a vehicle near a roadblock. The U.S. Marine, whose name, age, rank and duty status were not released, was not seriously hurt.

Military authorities based in Ensenada who are investigating said the Mexican military asked the man to stop his vehicle. They said the Mexican marines opened fire shortly thereafter. Details of what led them to shoot were not released.

Wow. We were in SD last weekend, and on the news they found a marine who'd been killed in a park somewhere. So sad.

It's under investigation, I haven't heard much about it, only that it was murder.
