Footage has emerged of four Americans captured in Mexico after a shootout.
According to a report from The New York Post, four Americans in a white minivan crossed the border into the crime-ridden city of Matamoros in Tamaulipas state and were kidnapped in what may be a case of mistaken identity.
From The New York Post:
Video that purports to show the Americans’ kidnapping features men wearing bulletproof vests dragging a person across the ground and roughly pushing a woman into the flatbed of a white pickup truck.
The suspects then grab two men who appear to be wounded or dead, and toss their bodies into the same flatbed.
It was not immediately known where the four captives were taken, or in what condition. Their names have not been released as of Monday.
A US official familiar with the incident told CNN the Americans were attacked by mistake and were not the intended targets.
