Gunmen In Mexico Shoot At Road Crew In Hudspeth County, Texas
2011-01-14
A road crew was repairing a part of Indian Hot Springs road, just east of Neely's crossing in Hudspeth County along the US-Mexico border when they came under gunfire from the Mexican side.

The crew was able to escape unharmed and managed to call for help. Units from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Border Patrol and Hudspeth County sheriff's deputies responded within minutes. They were able to determine the shots came from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande but were unable to spot the actual gunmen.
General Pershing was unavailable for comment.

#5  Why would they shoot at a road crew?

Possibly clearing out witnesses before the coyote leads across a group of illegals carrying drugs for one of the cartels?

#2  Who can blame them? The US took all the parts of Mexico with good roads.
