Attackers shot dead the husband of a Mexican councilwoman, with the gunfire also injuring the politician and her daughter, authorities reported Wednesday.
Maria de Jesus Quijada, a ruling party councilor for the municipality of Tecate along the United States border, was shot at while traveling in a vehicle with her family on Tuesday afternoon.
Quijada’s partner did not survive, while she and her daughter — who is 15 according to media reports — were being treated at a hospital in the U.S., Mexico’s security secretariat said.
