Florida Man Shot Outside Rosarito Beach Bakery

posted elsewere, but deserves repeating... Not aware to many American citizens, the U.S. State Department maintains a travel warning to those about to enter or living in Mexico. The potential for life-threatening danger should be a serious consideration especially in border areas including the city of Tijuana. In mid-February of this year, two US Immigration officers were ambushed and shot. Jaime Zapata was killed and his partner, John Morton was injured but survived. Most recently, it has been reported that early yesterday, before dawn, two American citizens were killed while waiting to cross the border. They were living in Tijuana and working in San Diegan. Witnesses said a gunman walked up their vehicle and fired numerous rounds from an automatic handgun at Kevin Joel Romero, 28, and Sergio Salcido Luna, 25, murdering them both then walked away. Initial investigation indicates the homicides were a random act. Nonetheless, tourism marketing persist in attempts to discredit such headlines as, "Mexico the Most Dangerous Country for Americans". In the meantime, cruise lines have discontinued Mexican Rivera stops due to increased fears and declining passenger bookings. Before traveling to Mexico, Americans should realize that Mexico currently shares the current U.S. State Department travel warnings list with countries such as Egypt, Haiti, and Iran among others.
