Lone ranger battles Mexico drug gangs: News24: World: News: "In the bloodstained chaos of Mexico's drug war raging on the doorstep of the United States, Erika Gandara, 28, is standing tall - and alone.
As her town's only police officer 'I am the law', she says.
Gandara's town of Guadalupe, population 9 000, is near Ciudad Juarez, Ground Zero in Mexico's endless bloodletting between rival drug cartels battling for control of distribution routes to the lucrative US markets. Juarez sits across the border from the US city of El Paso, Texas.
And the toll the sustained violence has taken even on little Guadalupe is big: all of her fellow police officers have either fled or been killed."
