Mexico attack investigation brings arrest possibly linked to murder of American family members in Sonora today – CBS News

Mexican officials said the family might have been mistakenly caught in a battle between two rival gangs, a theory also put forth by President Donald Trump in a tweet early Tuesday. But CBS News sources said the leading scenario is that the extended family was deliberately targeted.

Lending credibility to that theory is the fact that the ambush was drawn out over time, and miles, and continued after witnesses say one woman identified herself to the gunmen.

Taylor Langford is the nephew of one of the women killed in the brazen ambush. He and other family members also wonder if the attack was intentional.

“Three vehicles with women and children in broad daylight. There was no mistaken identity,” he told CBS News on Tuesday. “I felt this was in broad daylight and … no one could have done that not knowing what they were doing.”

The sicarios and their narco masters all deserve to die at the hands of SEALs and Delta operators, but US intervention would be wading into a bottomless swamp in order to stamp out all the noxious creatures that live there. (With apologies to the harmless creatures that actually live in our wetlands.) I feel for these Mormon women and kids, but calling for intervention as PDT did is wrong. Mexico’s President has rejected the offer, for whatever reasons.
