Councilwoman Shot in Border Town Attack | Sacramento News

A councilwoman in Tecate, Mexico, was shot during a brutal ambush that killed her husband and wounded her and her 15-year-old daughter—just days after she posted about community outreach. The family was en route to the daughter’s graduation when gunfire erupted. Both victims were rushed to a U.S. hospital but are now out of danger. Authorities found a matching burnt-out vehicle near the scene, amid a region plagued by cartel violence. This tragic attack underscores the perilous reality for local officials in Mexico, where drug-related violence has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives since 2006.
