NUEVO LAREDO - Two men lost their lives a few hours apart in unrelated shooting incidents over the weekend. The shootings bring the death toll in this border city to at least 87 for the year.

Jesus Guajardo street, between Mina and Gutierrez, was the scene of Saturday's shooting.

The city's emergency response center, known as C-4, received a call at 8 p.m. concerning a body lying inside of an automobile repair shop in the Infonavit neighborhood.

The body was identified as Eduardo Rodriguez Salinas, 28, by his wife, Rebeca Margarita de Salinas, 24.

She reportedly told State Ministerial Police investigators that she did not know he had been shot. Investigators found 54 bullet casings including .233 and .45 caliber as well as 7.62 millimeter at the scene of the shooting.

Rodriguez Salinas' body was sent for an autopsy as required by law.

The second incident took place a few hours later. C-4 received a call concerning a man shot near a house on Fernando Canto street, at Francisco M. Parra. State police responded by looking for the victim, and while they found two vehicles damaged by bullets, police did not find any victims.

A few minutes later personnel at San Jose Hospital reported two people, one of whom was dead, were brought to the emergency room.

The victim was reportedly identified as Humberto Guadalupe Navarro Loera, 25, by his voter registration card.

Navarro Loera had four wounds on his back, an emergency room doctor said.

The other person, identified as Abigail Gonzalez Alvarado, 15, who lived near the victim's house, reportedly told police she heard gunfire and was herself wounded.

But, but, guns are outlawed and illegal in Mexico. Americans get arrested for just having just one cartridge in their cars in Mexico.

I don't believe it. Guns are outlawed in Mexico, therefore, there is no gun violence in Mexico. (sarcasm off)

Consider that this city has only 330,000 residents. It is 10x the murder rate of the worst American cities like Detroit and D.C.

Maybe folks in Nuevo Laredo should move somewhere safer. Like Baghdad.

The situation is getting worse and worse. Met a lady on Good Friday whose brother is a trucker from Austin. He took a translator with him to Laredo. He said there are no people there who speak English!

RE: 'Los dos Laredos'

Do the precepts of 'Celebrating Diversity' (...here in the US) perhaps require providing equal opportunity ...to be shot... across ALL ethnic groups?   ...We seem to be 'importing' this 3rd world cartel culture at a rate which would tend to make others believe we are concerned about there being enough killing to go around.
