Pursuit ends in shooting of men at Mexico border
Two men who led police on a high-speed car chase from Anaheim to the Mexican border were shot and injured by Mexican federal officers before being taken into custody, police said Saturday.
The chase began shortly after midnight when Anaheim police tried to pull over a car being driven erratically near Beach Boulevard and Ball Road, Sgt. Rick Martinez said.
The vehicle was chased onto the I-5, where the California Highway Patrol joined the pursuit, Martinez said.
“We gave up the pursuit near San Onofre and received a call later from Border Patrol saying there had been a shooting at the border,” Martinez said.
