Gangs Allegedly Target Police
(Washington) -- An international gang has allegedly put Fairfax County police officers on a hit list.
The Latino gang has ties to the Washington area. The Washington Times reports the gang sent about 20 of its members from California to Fairfax County last month, to kill a county officer at random.
The gang, called MS 13, reportedly was upset because an officer has not been killed. A man who works with Latino gangs on a D.C. youth task force says MS-13 members may not have had a specific reason to go after police except to show some muscle.
He says other gang members have accused those in Fairfax of not being as violent as the group wants. The gang members from California may have come here to see why no action was taken.
Last month, 15 suspected members of MS-13 were arrested in Leesburg after a 25-year-old man was attack with a machete.
