WASHINGTON - On Monday afternoon, the Langford children watched as their mother and two of their siblings were shot dead in an attack. The surviving Langfords, as old as 14 and as young as 8 months, survived on their own for hours as one of them made a nearly 23km journey on foot to get help, family members said.
Attackers besieged the three vehicles with bullets and fire on Monday, authorities said, killing nine and wounding several children. One of the cars, carrying Rhonita Maria Miller, 30, and four children, including 8-month-old twins, was set aflame by attackers. By the time the charred remains of the vehicle were found by rescuers, only bones and ash remained. Farther up the road, Christina Johnson, 31, was in another vehicle, along with her baby.
The teenager hid his siblings in the brush and covered them with branches before embarking on a six-hour trek back to La Mora, according to Kendra Lee Miller, the sister-in-law of Rhonita Miller who described the ordeal in a lengthy Facebook post. Gunmen kill Mormon family members in Mexico "They're shot and wounded, and we got to go up there and get them," one male participant said of the children Devin had left behind.
