CELAYA – In a tragic event, a firefighting unit that was on its way to attend one of the fires set this Sunday afternoon at the blockades in the city of Celaya, was the target of a shooting attack at the corner of Avenida Constituyentes with Mutualismo and Rosas Moreno Street. Unfortunately, one of the brave officers lost his life as a result of this violent incident.
The events occurred after 4:00 p.m. this Sunday, in the midst of the chaos generated by the burning of vehicles in the Laja Bajío region. The firefighters, responding to an emergency call, were surprised by gunshots at the aforementioned corner. The driver lost control of the vehicle, which was left outside a convenience store.
The deceased, identified as Felipe Jiménez Sánchez, was hit three times in the chest during the attack. Although he was immediately taken to a private hospital for medical attention, his life was unfortunately not saved.
