American Family Shot At In Mexico, 13-Year-Old Killed. FBI Offers Help In Probe

A family was en route to the U.S. when they were attacked Saturday in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. The shooting is similar to one in which nine Americans were killed driving in Mexico in November.

The FBI says it is offering help to authorities in Mexico investigating a shooting attack on an American family that killed a 13-year-old child and wounded others, including a 10-year-old relative, over the weekend.

The attack, according to The Associated Press, took place on a seldom-used road in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, south of Texas on Saturday.
