Shooting in Manzanillo Colima

Just left restaurant El Tiburón in La boquita beach. Passed by and decided that was the restaurant for us. Made a u turn and arrived. Got out of our vehicle and people we’re scattering. Six Policía Municipal arrived sirens blaring. Heard people standing yelling they need an ambulance. We were going in to restaurant and they were carrying a lady out. She was shot in the leg. Bystander.
Police sealed the crime seen with tape nobody out or in. They were investigating the crime scene. Spoke with one officer he told me that the shooters left and they were in pursuit. One of them was shot in shoulder. We were allowed to leave and we are now at Playa Las Brisa recovering from the scare.
Second time in Mexico we have missed a shootout in Mexico. We do it go to places we feel are dangerous. We must have someone looking down on us.
I will say the police were very profesional,efficient and courteous.

I am waiting to hear AMLO's comments on the coronavirus. Should be comical.

Remember our Mexican president's saying on confronting the cartels and crime:

"Abrazos no Balazos". Hugs not bullets. :h

He also said, "que se portan bien porque sufre mucho las mamás". The cartel members should behave themselves because their mothers suffer a lot"

A young German woman (fellow tourist in SE Asia this winter) is afraid to come to the US because "everyone has guns and the shootings".
She is an extremely experienced world traveler.

I told her that she could visit us and I would loan her one of my guns.

Couple of corrections. Evening news said it was restaurant Huachinango not tiburón. We left so quickly got the name confused with another restaurant. Also lady shot in leg was an employee other person shot was the owner. Neither fatal wounds.
Guessing but sounds like a warning.

That’s why Mexico is off my visit list. Very unfortunate.
