Mexican police, migrant smugglers open fire: 2 dieAP foreign, Monday August 4 2008 VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) - Two people are dead after a shootout between Mexican police and smugglers driving a truck packed with illegal immigrants from Central America.
Police caught up with the truck near the town of Agua Dulce in southeast Mexico. The town's police chief says the smugglers then opened fire on officers, starting a shootout and car chase. The chase ended when the truck lost control and crashed into a ditch.
Gunfire killed a migrant and a suspected smuggler, while about 30 of the 42 immigrants hidden in the truck were injured Monday in the crash.
One of those killed was riding in the cab, and police believe he was a smuggler. The driver was captured by police.
Officials say the immigrants are from Honduras, El Salvador and Ecuador.
