4 Found Shot To Death On a Highway

ARIZONAAuthorities are combing the desert looking for clues and suspects after a deadly shooting spree in Arizona. It happened on Interstate-10 near the town of Casa Grande Southeast of Phoenix.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety says all the victims and people who have been arrested appear to be illegal immigrants. The shooting occurred as some of the vehicles were moving down the highway. There is speculation that the shooting may have involved rival smuggling operations.

Details are very sketchy so far, but four people are dead and three others wounded. The Arizona Department Of Public Safety says Highway Patrol Officers received a call about a wounded man next to the highway. There were other reports of people running into the desert. When they arrived they found three bodies inside the pickup. One was lying on the ground outside the pickup. Two victims were found hiding under a tree nearby.

A few miles away from the accident border patrol agents tracked down four people. It is not known at this time, if they are suspects in the shooting or ran into the desert to escape harm. Sheriff's SWAT officers in an armored personnel carrier showed up to help guard and transport the four men. According to a spokesman for the Department Of Public Safety, all the people appear to be illegal immigrants.

The border patrol would only confirm for ABC7 Eyewitness News that its agents were on the scene and involved in the investigation. However DPS spokesman Frank Valenzuela tells Eyewitness News that the shootings occurred as the vehicles were moving down the highway.

A van blacked out windows and two of them broken out was found a short distance away. Valenzuela says a Ford Explorer was stopped near Phoenix with several people in it including a wounded woman.

Gila River Tribal Police found the van and there were five or six people running from it. There is a search underway in the desert for any other victims or people connected to the incident. The Penal County Sheriff's Department is now leading the investigation.

It will be spun into a reason for amnesty. They will say that "this will all end" if only we will just abandon all our laws, all our borders, etc. The usual "let us invade your country or you're all racists" crap.

You're probably right. Does Fox want us to have open borders from now on? He's going to be in NM tomorrow, visiting at the invitation of governor Richardson. This is probably going to cost us.

The laws are a farce that everyone ignores.

Mexicans live with this farce in Mexico, and bring this attitude with them to America. Our government rolls out the red carpet to them despite the fact that they break our laws. I think that makes our laws a farce too, only American citizens have to follow the law, not illegal aliens.

These thugs are all the same
They always mistake compassion for weakness
And then exploit the opening..

In the case of the USA and its liberals..
They are not mistaken

The illegal invaders will continue their exploitation
Until they are stopped by a firm hand...
The longer we wait the more ruthless we will have to become
in order to be effective...

And the more unpalatable the action will be to the masses

And all the more the liberal socialist anti American media
bent upon our destruction
will also exploit the issue...

Making America an easy takeover...

Aren't you supposed to ping someone if you dis them? I don't know what your previous discussion was, but I'd agree that most illegals are hardworking, and keep to themselves. I have met and gotten to know many, and yes, they are human. Most are honest--just like most American citizens are honest and hardworking--except for the glaring fact that they BROKE OUR LAWS to get here. Because of that, they don't deserve to remain here, unless they lay some kind of penance.

Since infiltrating the United States is not currently treated as a crime, it is unclear to me whether or not this will be treated as a crime, either.

Does anyone happen to know which laws we are selectively enforcing today?

Only to Mexico. Everyone else is supposed to obey the rules...just not them.

I heard the other day Fox was coming and wondered why he was not greeted with protests?

Mexicans live with this farce in Mexico, and bring this attitude with them to America

That's really the primary reason I'm so opposed to what is happening now. It's one thing to talk about a steady, controlled stream, with a hard line assimilation process. But with millions coming, assimilation is impossible. And so the ideas and attitudes in our government will shift towards theirs, as they elect more and more of their ethnicity to public office. Note that the peculiar "compelling interest" that Justice O'Connor asserts we have in ethnic diversity turbocharges this process, propelling far more Mexicans into American government then their electoral numbers warrant.

And so we get the corruption and incivility of Mexico in our city and state governments. Think of it as a virus in the body politic...

A very high electrified (think bug zapper) chain-link, barbed wire fence, built by the illegals themselves when they're caught. When the fence is done, deposit them on the other side of it and turn on the juice. End of problem.

El jefe Fox should be presented with the four dead bodies and thanked appropriately for his "gifts" to our country.

It happened on Interstate-10 near the town of Casa Grande Southeast of Phoenix. Actually it happened a lot closer to the edge of metro Phoenix. Casa Grande is a good 20 minutes drive south, even allowing for the 75mph speed limit.

No kidding? Where? On the reservation near the Gila River? North of there? Or between the rest stop and Riggs Rd.?

All he (Fox) has to do is allege racism by the Americans and that's it.

That would be rather hypocritical of Fox considering the fact that he heads a country that is 93% Latino. You can't find very many countries that are as racist as Mexico.

Hmmmmmmm. Rival smugglers. I was not aware that the demand for strawberry pickers was at such an all-time hi.

Do you suppose if this continues the price of produce will go up?

If these idiots stayed on their own side of the border they'd be alive today.

Don't bother calling INS. The head of the new INS (Zigler) parents were both illegals. We know where his priorities lie.

Thanks George.
