MEXICO CITY — A policeman arrested in the deaths of three people and the wounding of six in a Mexico City subway car apologized after Thursday's shooting spree, saying he was feeling depressed. Ernesto Cruz Jimenez, 22, was arrested on the scene after a security guard captured him in a subway tunnel. A rookie with the police force of the adjacent state of Mexico, Cruz Jimenez had been missing since Tuesday when he failed to show up for work, authorities said. Cruz Jimenez gave investigators a confused statement in which he apologized but did not confess to the shootings.
