translated from Spanish: Robbery of restaurant in Narvarte colony unleashes persecution and shooting

Mexico City authorities reported tuesday night about a robbery of armed men to customers of a restaurant in the Narvarte colony, the persecution of those allegedly responsible and an exchange of gunfire with one of them.
“Uniformed from the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) of Mexico City, attended to the emergence of a robbery to several people who were inside a restaurant.
Upon arrival, those affected reported that two men entered the premises and after threatening them with a firearm, stripped them of a backpack with cash, cell phone equipment and other valuables,” the Secretariat said in a statement.
“With the characteristics of the possible culprits, the SSC policemen began the search, it was at the intersection of Doctor Vértiz street and Dr. Ignacio Barajas Lozano, in the Buenos Aires colony, where they located one of them.
The man, who carried a firearm, made several detonations against the troops, who, seeing his life at risk, repelled the aggression. Later, when he was encovered by official vehicles and police officers, the likely assailant fired a gunshot to his head,” he added.
Paramedics who arrived at the site, detailed the authorities, diagnosed that the subject had no vital signs, “so the public prosecutor’s agent was given the fact that he will carry out the corresponding investigations; meanwhile, the uniforms cordoned off the area for the arrival of expert services.”
