Four American citizens have been kidnapped at gunpoint in Mexico, and, remarkably, a bystander was able to capture the moment of the kidnapping on camera. One by one, the four unknown people are quite literally dragged into the back of a pickup truck by a group of men, heavily armed and heavily armored. A Mexican citizen was also killed in the attack, according to the US Ambassador.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said in a statement that the group had crossed the border into Mexico to buy medicine, and found themselves in the middle of an armed conflict, likely between two cartels. The town of Matamoros, where the incident took place, is known for its high levels of gang violence, and, in days passed, a high level of tourists. US citizens have been advised to avoid the area, while Mexican and US law enforcement work together to recover the four kidnapped Americans.
