A street surveillance camera captured the moment heavily armed gunmen positioned themselves with military weapons aboard a truck and wounded Mexico City's police chief in an ambush that killed two cops and a civilian Friday morning.

The Mexican capital's police Omar García Harfuch suffered three bullet wounds as he and his bodyguards were attacked by sniper rifles and grenades in the city's most upmarket neighborhood.

The video shows over a dozen of armed men spread across the flatbed of a white truck at a major intersection in Lomas de Chaputelpec, a neighborhood in the borough of Miguel Hidalgo.

Mexican newspaper El Heraldo de Mexico reported that the shooting lasted 15 to 20 minutes.

Police Chief Harfuch was shot at three times and one of his bodyguards died trying to protect him.


Local media reported that a civilian, Gabriela Gómez Cervantes, 26, died after being shot in the head in the crossfire while sitting in her car.

Tania Sandoval, (pictured) Cervante's sister, was wounded in the attack.


Moment Police back up arrived the scene.

Some three hours later, apparently from his hospital bed, Police García Harfuch on Twitter blamed his injuries and the death of two bodyguards on a "cowardly attack" by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a gang renowned as one of the most violent in the country.

The attack on García Harfuch was the first on a top cop in Mexico City since 2008 when Julio César Sánchez Amaya, the then chief of the Federal District's Public Security, was targeted by the Sinaloa Cartel in a failed car bombing.

That Barret 50 Caliber sniper mega-rifle apparently made short work of the bullet-proof glass protecting that police chief in his SUV.

You may be right though but there's just so much drug dealings over there.

If not political backing you mean every security personnel available in the country cannot ransack every corner of the country to fish the nigga out

Mexico is the gateway into USA. So they are merely transporters into the biggest drugs market which is USA. Control the US market and you control the international drug trade

Criminals always think they're elusive till they're caught
