"A female police chief in the Mexican state of Chihuahua has been murdered by drug cartels. Hermila Garcia of the small border town Meoqui was gunned down Nov. 29. Garcia was 36 years old and assumed her post on Oct. 9. Many women have stepped up to take police chief positions when men were too afraid to take the job.
Unfortunately this new murder may signal the drug cartels are willing to kill whomever they feel is in authority, even women.
Other women along border towns including a 20 year-old have stepped up to be police chiefs when drug cartels have murdered their predecessors."
