This has been all over the local news. Unfortunately for me, I live in McAllen so Falcon Lake is very close to home. This is of course a tragedy but I do not understand why people keep tempting fate like this. Yesterday, my wife called and asked if I knew anything about what was going on at one of the border crossings because her brother and sister-in-law were trapped in Mexico. The bridge was shut down because of some shootout on the Mexico side. I asked what her brother and sister-in-law were doing in Mexico, "Shopping"! I'm sorry, but that is just plain stupid right now. We hear about shootings and even grenades going off just a couple of miles into Mexico EVERY DAY yet Americans continue to travel accross the border for reasons like shopping.

As for the McAllen man shot at the lake, last I read, his body still hasn't been found. I hope they find him soon so his loved ones can get some closure.
