In reply to the discussion: Border Patrol agent kills woman near San Diego as he rides on hood of car that ran into him [View all]lunasun
(21,646 posts)Many years ago I had a under cover cop run out between 2 parked cars and I nearly hit him and I was not speeding-the cops were going after some people or person on the other side of the street which since I was driving I was not seeing what was going on but figured it out and got the hell out of there since I did not know what was going to happen next
This guy must of been a little behind the rest since I did not see others crossing the street before getting to the area he sprinted out of or he came out of one of the cars
-but of course -the cop yelled obscenities at me (with young children in the car) when I screeched to a halt cuz it was my fault he ran out on the street from a blind spot in to traffic of course
I am assuming they were cops because he did not look like other people in the area and something was going down on the other side of the street
............from the article
The agent was taken to a hospital with unknown injuries, although witnesses said he appeared to be OK.
Family members identified the woman as Valeria Monique Alvarado, a 32-year-old housewife who grew up in Chula Vista and lived in Southcrest. She died at the scene.
She had five children, ranging in ages 3 to 17.
I love her to the fullest. Thats my heart, said her husband, Gilbert Alvarado, before choking up.

Authorities did not release further information, including how the agent was struck.
Chula Vista police said the crash occurred on Moss closer to Broadway, and the car drove west, coming to rest near Oaklawn. A large dent was left in the windshield where the officer had impacted, police said.
Witnesses gave differing versions of how the shooting unfolded, including whether they saw the agent on the car.
Hector Salazar, who lives in the area, said he was standing at his mailbox looking through letters when he heard a man yell, Stop!
He looked up and saw a man in civilian clothing on the hood of a two-door car, aiming a gun at the windshield.
The man then started pulling the trigger, shooting about five rounds.
Salazar hit the ground, and moments later saw other plainclothes agents approach the car.
Eduardo Comacho, 22, was walking on Woodlawn Avenue with his friend when they heard about seven shots.
He saw a man in a red shirt, without a badge, holding his gun. He appeared shaken. Other undercover officers joined him, pulling out their badges as they walked.
The lady was hanging out the door, barely moving, Comacho said. The agents checked her pulse, and medics who arrived shortly after began CPR on her on the ground. Comacho could see what appeared to be bullet wounds in her chest, shoulder, arm and leg.
He did not miss, Comacho said.
