SAN DIEGO, Calif. — A San Diego father is among the 10 people who were killed in a shootout in Mexico’s Baja California state over the weekend, according to his cousin.

Roberto Ayala, 22, was in Ensenada, Mexico, for a racing event with off-road vehicles, his cousin Stephanie Romero confirmed Monday.

“He had just gotten his razor and was excited to take it out for a spin for the first time,” she told ABC 10News in a message.

Ensenada is about a two-hour drive from San Diego.

The state prosecutor's office in Mexico said the shooting Saturday afternoon was a result of a confrontation between members of organized crime groups. It left 10 dead and 10 others injured.

Every person crossing our border deserves sanctuary here if they're escaping the scourge of American guns.

And they won't even be safe from them here.

Cartels have absolutely no trouble laying hands on them, whatsoever. Illegal sellers in the States are making fortunes moving these killing machines to Mexico at will.

Mexico needs to tighten their procedures if our stuff is getting through undetected. Sounds like a big problem for Mexico to fix.

Seems a stretch to blame this on anything other than cartel violence, but I guess gun grabbers will take advantage of any crime to further their goals.

to the cartels, through the numerous methods of transporting them into the country, by air, sea, trucks, even their numerous tunnels all over the place. They are totally resourceful.

Clearly that was what AMLO has been trying to communicate to the US every time he has begged this country to stem the flood of weapons from the US to Mexico. It most certainly is NOT all Mexico's ####ing fault. The criminals in this country are every bit as involved as the criminals on the other side.

It's sickening when gun humpers get so defensive fearing any hint something could come between their symbolic manhoods and their sense of security.

I can't imagine what it will take to awaken the loons of the US gun humpers' society which has destroyed our culture beyond all accounting.
