At least nine Americans killed in Mexican highway ambush American Moms and Kids Massacred in Mexican Ambush That Killed at Least 9
At least nine U.S. citizens — including six children — were killed in what local media described as a highway ambush in the Mexican border state of Sonora late Monday,
The dead included 8-month-old twins, said Kendra Lee Miller, who is related to many of the victims. Some of the eight survivors — all children — sustained serious injuries.
Miller added that the victims lived in La Mora, which is about 75 miles south of the U.S. border.
Miller named the victims as Christina Marie Langford Johnson, 29, Dawna Langford, 43, and Trevor Langford, 11, and Rogan Langford, two-and-a-half. Also slain were Rhonita Miller, 30, Howard Miller, 12, Krystal Miller, 10, and 8-month-old twins, Titus and Tiana Miller.
Earlier another relative of one of the victims, Willie Jessop, told NBC News on the phone from Utah that a number of people were traveling in a motorcade consisting of several families when they came under the attack.
Jessop said three of the cars were shot at and one of them was set on fire based on the information he has been receiving from other family members at the scene.

A convoy of SUVs carrying American moms, kids, and babies heading to a wedding in Mexico was attacked by armed gunmen on Monday, killing at least nine passengers, including several children.
The victims, many of whom had dual Mexican-American citizenship, were members of a Mormon offshoot group that had settled in Bavispe in the Mexican border state of Sonora more than 50 years ago, according to multiple news reports.
The cars packed with kids and babies were heading to a wedding in another Mormon offshoot community in the Mexican state of Chihuahua when they came under heavy gunfire. Authorities are working on the theory that they were either caught in the crossfire between warring drug cartels or attacked in a case of mistaken identity. Other reports suggest that the brother of one of the victims was killed last year in a vendetta killing after speaking out against drug cartels kidnapping for ransom.
The Associated Press quoted Mexican Security Secretary Alfonso Durazo saying the gunman likely mistook the moms’ large SUVs for rival gangs. He said six children were additionally wounded in the attack, of whom five had been transferred to American hospitals in Phoenix. Troops are still searching for a missing child, he added.
On Tuesday, President Trump tweeted he is willing to send reinforcements to help Mexico in “cleaning out these monsters” if they ask. Without mentioning that the victims lived in Mexico and are dual Mexican-American citizens, the president wrote on Twitter, “A wonderful family and friends from Utah got caught between two vicious drug cartels, who were shooting at each other, with the result being many great American people killed, including children, and some missing.”
The president added that the United States “stands ready, willing & able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively” and that “the cartels have become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat an army.”
