Two Killed In Shooting On New Mexico-Mexico Border

More spillover. It's impossible that an open border will provide any protection to those living on 'the other side' of chaos.

COLUMBUS, N.M. -- Authorities said two men were killed in a shooting Monday on the New Mexico-Mexico border.

Luna County sheriff's deputies told Action 7 News that a gunman unloaded more than 28 rounds into an SUV in Palomas, Mexico. There were four men inside the SUV, two were killed, one was wounded and another escaped unharmed.

Police said the uninjured man drove the vehicle from the passenger seat across the border to Columbus.


The Luna County Sheriff's Office said this is the second time this month that violence from Palomas has spilled over into Columbus.
