The FBI San Antonio Division office said in a statement Sunday that the vehicle came under fire shortly after it entered Mexico. “All four Americans were placed in a vehicle and taken from the scene by armed men,” the office said. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for the return of the victims and the arrest of the culprits.Shootouts in Matamoros were so bad that the U.S. Consulate issued an alert about the danger Friday.
Tamaulipas state police said people had been killed and injured Friday, but did not say how many or give details of the violence.
