A suspect has been arrested in the massacre of nine family members from a Mormon community on the Mexican side of the border with the United States, Mexican authorities said Tuesday.

The suspect was holding two bound-and-gagged hostages in the hills of Agua Prieta in Sonora state, the ministerial Agency for Criminal Investigations (AMIC) said.

The suspect had several rifles and a large amount of ammunition, including a number of large-caliber weapons, the agency said in a statement posted to its official Facebook page.

The arrest came a day after a convoy of women and children was viciously attacked by criminal groups while driving near the US-Mexico border, Mexican authorities said.

Just trying to look at it from the viewpoint of a MSM gerbilist.

Quite a quick arrest, which tells me that Mexico knows where these cartel people, and their leaders are, but won’t do anything until pressured by the U.S. I’m sure President Trump was insistent that Mexico do something to find these murderers, or else. Obama would have given a stuttering statement about how terrible it was, and then he’d have gone golfing.

They have got themselves a sacrificial lamb. The whole crime can be attributed to a lone killer and the Cartels can go on with business as usual. Mexico is off the hook.

Can’t be. Mexico has strict Gun Control Laws.

Must be a mistake. Maybe they are Filming a new Terminator Movie and this guy is in charge if the fake Weaponry.

Seems Fox and Friends had this story on as an “alert” every so many minutes this morning.

President Trump probably offered to send a couple of US Army divisions to help them search.

The suspect had several rifles and a large amount of ammunition, including a number of large-caliber weapons,

Wonder if the serial numbers from those weapons can be found on a paper attributed to to Eric Holder.

Mexico’s president refused any help from the USA. Mexico is such a corrupt sh!th0le country that its president either cannot or will not act against the drug cartels. That is a strong argument against any kind of tourism.

This is a major event since we actually have a President now.

Also the cartels really run Mexico. I do not know why even Americans even visit that country to begin with.
