Tijuana shootings kill 14-year-old, 7 others
Prosecutors announced the release of a doctor whose Nov. 6 kidnapping in Tijuana helped spark anti-crime protests, but deadly violence continued unabated in the Mexican city across from San Diego.Shootings across Tijuana claimed the lives a 14-year-old girl and seven others, local authorities reported Sunday. Baja California state prosecutors say the girl and two men were shot down in a Tijuana street on Saturday just before midnight. Assailants in a separate attack on the pool hall used assault rifles to kill four men and one woman. Assault rifles are frequently used in the violent drug cartel turf battles and assassinations that have plagued Tijuana recently. There was no immediate information on the motive in the attack on the Banana Loca pool hall. Prosecutors did not say how the kidnapped doctor was released or whether a ransom was paid.
