I had just posted my previous article State Department Publishes Updated Mexico Travel Advisory Just in Time for World Cup when I saw a story about an American getting killed in Mexico.
“American tourist killed in Los Cabos shootout with military” the headline read. This is misleading because it gives the impression that the tourist was having a shootout with the military.
But here’s what the article says: “A California man died after being shot during a clash between Mexican soldiers and armed assailants in San José del Cabo.” That gives a whole different impression, doesn’t it?
It also says, “Four civilians and two soldiers were wounded, including a 14-year-old boy and a 65-year-old woman with serious injuries.”
Los Cabos is located on the peninsula of Baja California, in the state of Baja California Sur. The Los Cabos municipality include the cities of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.
