Armed men have abducted at least 16 people from La Leche, an upmarket restaurant in a popular Mexican tourist destination. "I am in Puerto Vallarta heading the investigation into the kidnapping (that) occurred this morning," said Eduardo Almaguer, the state prosecutor on his Twitter account on Monday (15 August).
Initial reports, which have not been officially confirmed, stated that a group of armed men targeted around 20 people in La Leche restaurant and took some of them away in several vehicles.
Prosecutors in the western state of Jalisco said that two SUVs with several gunmen arrived at around 1am at the restaurant which is on the city's main boulevard, which runs through the hotel district.
Five vehicles were abandoned at La Leche and it is not yet known if they belonged to the victims or their abductors, according to an AP report.

This, just two days after Travel & Leisure named PV one of the “10 best places for Americans to retire”
Why ?

If these are tourists,I could see one asking the kidnappers,can I get a selfie for my blog???
I’m in Mexico all the time- you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time in any city on Earf. Think your safe in Philadelphia or Atlanta or New York? Hell, you can freeze to death in Billings if you break down during a blizzard
So did I. Well, it still is comparitively, I suppose, until somebody's head turns up in a cooler on Main street...
And we’re supposed to let them into our country?
BUILD THAT WALL!!!!
Some Australians I knew visited Mexico even in the late 80-90s, and liked it as a slow paced, budget place where one could live for a while, study Spanish, etc. Now, there are heartbreaking stories like this one:

How many are Americans? I’m sure all the kidnappers know about the price Obama just put on the head of every American traveling abroad.
I’d rather vacation in Syria.
I used to visit some of the Mexican border towns. Not for a long time!!!!

It is nearly impossible for a law abiding citizen to own a legal gun in Mexico
