Gunmen presumed to be Mexican drug operatives opened fire today on a couple riding water skis on the binational Falcon Lake reservoir Thursday afternoon, possibly killing the husband and sending the woman fleeing frantically to the U.S. side.

Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said the couple, believed to be from McAllen, Texas, had crossed to the Mexican side when they came under a spray of bullets by two boatloads of men. The man, 30, was shot in the head and his wife said she fears he is dead.

According to unconfirmed reports, the woman circled back to get her husband but the gunmen continued shooting, even after she crossed back to the U.S. side. They saw them approaching and started revving it up back to the U.S. side,” Gonzalez said. “The guys just started shooting at them from behind.”

Gonzalez said the couple never spoke to the gunmen. He said the couple had ridden over to Mexico for sightseeing and to take photos of a famous church in Old Guerrero.

Gonzalez said he had contacted the Mexican consulate for help finding the husband. As of late Thursday afternoon, he was tracing down leads with the FBI, said Mary Pulido, a dispatcher fielding a barrage of press calls.

The mexicans don't seem to have any problem shooting people illegally entering their shithole country.  Looks like we need to respond in kind next time illegals are seen streaming over the border into the U.S.

The local papers are reporting that this guy was a fellow Coloradoan.  They're calling it an 'act of piracy'.

I posted something on this in GD. I didn't even know we had this forum.

Isn't that awful? These people will stop at nothing to intimidate the officers to back off. I hope they don't. They can't give them the control. I'd be scared out of my mind though. I feel so terrible for his family. And for whoever discovered his head in that case.
