In Tijuana Mexico, a witness says that 13 recovering addicts were shot by a gang of armed men. Police have not confirmed the 13 dead but say that at least 10 were killed. The attack occured late Sunday and was witnessed by Jesus, not wanting to reveal his last name to protect himself. Police still do not know the motive of this violent mass killing. Police also found the bodies of six men who had been blindfolded and executed outside of Acapulco. The bodies were found with handwritten messages, often a sign of Mexico's drug gangs threatening their rivals.
I think that it was horrible to shoot members of a rehab clinic because they were actually people trying to change their ways and get away from drugs. But maybe this clinic was targeted because of past gang members turning their backs to the gang. Or maybe they were rival ex gang members. Or even possibly, the gang just wanted to get out a message of how powerful they are. It is quite scary that there have also been murders outside of a tourist city like Acapulco. I think the police need to try very hard to solve these murder cases and crack down on the gangs. The fact that innocent people are being killed for maybe no reason at all is horrible. In fact, it makes me not want to travel to Mexico, in fear of being killed.
