The eight children, some mere infants, who survived the ambush in northern Mexico not only escaped the drug cartel gunmen who killed their mothers but managed to hide in the brush, with some walking miles to get help despite grisly bullet wounds.
The victims lived in Sonora state, about 70 miles south of Douglas, Ariz., in the hamlet of La Mora, which was founded decades ago by an offshoot of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many La Mora residents call themselves Mormons but are not affiliated with any church.
All of the victims were apparently related to the extended LeBaron family in Chihuahua, whose members have run afoul of the drug traffickers over the years. Benjamin LeBaron, an anti-crime activist who founded neighborhood patrols against cartels, was killed in 2009.The victims had set out to visit relatives in Chihuahua. One woman was headed to the airport in Phoenix to meet her husband.
