The shooting, which took place early Saturday afternoon, provoked an intense mobilization of units of the army, navy, and state and local police.
Baja California officials say gunmen in one vehicle opened fire on people and vehicles at the rally. State prosecutor Ricardo Iván Carpio said that vehicle was found to have “perforations from gunshots and traces of blood inside.”
The state prosecutor’s office said there was evidence of crossfire suggesting it was a confrontation between members of organized crime groups.
Baja California, across the border from California, is experience intense cartel activity.
And Joe Biden, Mayorkas, & Harris just let these murderous thugs waltz across our wide open southern border.
Daven for the peace of the government for if not for the fear of government man will swallow his friend live.
It’s an ongoing fight between the govt & the cartels. Sadly usually the cartels win.
