Police officials in Prince George's and Montgomery counties are warning officers that a Salvadoran street gang is plotting to ambush and kill them when they respond to service calls.
The warnings have been issued based on intelligence gathered from the Langley Park area, a known base for members of the MS-13 gang, officials said. The area straddles two counties.
'snip'
In July 2002, The Washington Times reported that MS-13 had dispatched about 20 gang members from California to Fairfax County to kill a county police officer at random.
There were two confirmed cases in which MS-13 members tried to lure officers behind buildings in the Culmore area of Fairfax County to ambush them, but no officers were killed.

MS isn't really into lettuce-picking. They're basically living off the crimes they commit, and even jail or prison beats the streets they come from at "home". Nasty bunch of folks.
Targeting police? It doesn't get much worse than that!
I'm glad this is happening right in D.C.'s face. They don't really have a gang problem though, Where I live there are 7,000 asian gang members alone. That doesn't figgure in the "Crypts", the "Bloods", and all the rest.

Not to worry, I'm sure Bush's amnesty program will dissuade further illegals from entering the country.
Ping.
Houston ?
Really, in Texas? Unbelievable.
indeed, they are everywhere here. I feel safer in many parts of manhattan then I do here in Nassau now. I never go to the large shopping malls like Roosevelt Field unless I take a day off from work; after school lets out and on weekends, it looks like a scene from the movie Colors at the mall.
someday soon here, there is going to be some kind of gang related crime of significant proportion that is going to shock these sleepy long islanders into realizing exactly what the demographic changes have brought. I know alot of people moving out of Nassau, back to Queens and Brooklyn - they avoid these insane LIRR fares (going up again), and the quality of life is about the same.
about 3,600 gang members are believed to be in the metropolitan area.
Good Lord! Compare this to the number of insurgents estimated to be in Fallujah.
Squantos did they ever catch those bank robbers (Richardson bank)?
Yes they did.
I hate to beat a dead thread again but here it goes: "No big deal".
lol
To the best of my knowledge........no.
The one that was caught on video, by the newscrew? Maybe I am thinking of another caper.
Roosevelt Field - thanks for the tip. Guess they spent all that money to end up like the Green Acres mall.
