Five Men Gunned Down Near International Bridge In Juarez

Deadly violence in Juarez broke out just yards away from an international bridge Friday.

Five men were killed shortly after noon at the foot of the Zaragoza bridge on the Mexican side of the Ysleta port of entry, according to ABC-7’s news partner XHIJ Channel 44.

The men were eating at a food stand when they were shot. The youngest victim was just 19 years old, while the oldest was 58.

Police found 38 shell casings from high-power rifles. A spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection told ABC-7 traffic was not interrupted at the bridge.

One man said he saw people running everywhere as the killers sprayed the area with bullets.
