Sen. Mitt Romney on members of an American family killed in ambush in Mexico: 'I agree with the president when he says Mexico has to really knuckle down and go after some of these cartels and stop this escalating level of violence.'
At least nine members of an American family, including six children, were killed in an attack in northern Mexico on Monday, the Mexican military has confirmed.
Three women and six children were killed in the ambush. Six other children survived the massacre and were left injured, while another remains missing, according to Durazo. "Everyone's just in complete and utter shock," Staddon told ABC News in a Skype interview Monday night."It has been pretty violent down there for a while and now that it has hit our family, I just want people to know out here how bad it has gotten."
When asked for comment, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State told ABC News, “We are aware of these reports. The safety and welfare of U.S. citizens abroad is among the Department of State’s top priorities. When a U.S. citizen is missing or passes away overseas, we engage with local officials at multiple levels and provide all appropriate consular assistance.”
