Two Americans killed in Mexico, others found alive
Two Americans whose abduction in Mexico was captured in a video that showed them caught in a cartel shootout were found dead, officials said Tuesday.
Two others who were kidnapped with them were found alive, with one wounded.
Tamaulipas Governor Américo Villarreal did not provide details on the extent of the wounded person’s injuries.
The surviving Americans were taken to the border near Brownsville, Texas, in a convoy of Mexican ambulances and SUVs, as seen by an Associated Press journalist.
It was not immediately clear if the bodies of the deceased were also being returned to the U.S.
The vehicles sped down a long dirt road escorted by Mexican military Humvees, armored vehicles, state police and National Guard in trucks with mounted .50-caliber machine guns.
A relative of the Americans on Monday that the group had traveled together from South Carolina so one of them could get a tummy tuck from a doctor in the border city of Matamoros, where Friday’s kidnapping took place.
Shortly after entering Mexico they were caught amid fighting between rival cartel groups in the city.
A video showed them being loaded into the back of a pickup truck by gunmen.
Officials said a Mexican woman also died in Friday's crossfire.
