ZAPATA |
This marked the first time in a quarter century that a U.S. cop has been killed while on the job in Mexico.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said: “This reward reflects the U.S. government's unwavering commitment to ensuring that all those responsible for the murder of Special Agent Zapata are brought to justice.”
On the bright side, the shooting prompted a lightning response from the Mexican authorities, which announced the arrest of the cartel's leader after just eight days. The gangsters, identified as part of the Zetas drug cartel, admitted they thought Zapata’s entourage was a rival gang and mistakenly ‘jumped the gun.'
