SAN ANTONIO (AP) — An American tourist was shot in the back of the head in Mexican waters on Thursday after being ambushed by armed boaters, a Texas sheriff said. It happened near the U.S. boundary of a lake where run-ins with pirates already had fishermen and Texas officials on alert.
Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez identified the victim as David Michael Hartley, 30. Hartley and his wife were riding personal watercrafts back from Mexico on Falcon Lake when about six gunmen approached in two boats, Gonzalez said. The sheriff said Hartley was shot as the couple sped away at the sight of the boaters.
What happened to Hartley was unclear. Gonzalez said the man’s wife tried circling back to pull him from the water, but she was forced to retreat to U.S. waters after being fired upon again.

I was thinking that even some naval vessel along the lines of a 1920s-era steam powered gunboat like the USS San Pablo would be sufficient to command that lake.
Even an antique gunboat armed with a 5" howitzer up on the quarterdeck and some sailors armed with BARs and a few air cooled Lewis guns ought to be enough to fix these pirate's wagons.

I like the way you think.

They had got to sightsee at Old Guerrero, an old mission site, IIRC.

Which might have been a safe thing to do 10 yrs ago (or more)
