Two Guatemalan migrants are dead and three others _ along with a Honduran man _ are wounded after a shooting in northern Mexico near the U.S. border that apparently involved Mexican army soldiers
Two Guatemalan migrants were killed Monday and three others — along with a Honduran man — were wounded in a shooting in northern Mexico near the U.S. border that apparently involved Mexican army soldiers. Prosecutors in the northern state of Chihuahua said the army has turned over four soldiers to testify in the case, but did not say whether they were formally suspects in the still-unclear shooting.
A fifth soldier who was apparently in the patrol vehicle has not been located. Prosecutor Carlos Manuel Salas said the shooting occurred near the Santa Teresa border crossing west of Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. He said the army performs regular patrols in the area. “This is a patrolled area, and that is why there was this encounter with the soldiers, who were doing their traditional patrolling,” Salas said, adding that the circumstances of the shooting remained unclear.
