Mexico's National Guard was involved in a fatal shooting incident near the U.S. border, resulting in the death of two Colombians and injuries to four others. The Defense Department claimed that the confrontation took place on a dirt road near Tecate, east of Otay Mesa on the California border, a known route used by Mexican migrant smugglers.
Colombia's foreign ministry confirmed that all the victims were migrants caught in the crossfire. The deceased were identified as a 20-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman, with conflicting reports on the number of wounded Colombians. The Defense Department did not clarify whether the victims were migrants but mentioned that one Colombian who was unharmed was handed over to immigration officials.
