The two Americans who survived a deadly kidnapping in Mexico, where two others were killed, returned to the U.S. with a harrowing tale.
Barbara McLeod Burgess told CNN her daughter LaTavia Washington McGee — who planned to return home to South Carolina on Wednesday — said she and her travel companions were searching for a medical clinic where McGee had a scheduled cosmetic surgery, when their minivan was struck by another vehicle. They tried to run when gunmen opened fire.
“They all got shot at the same time,” she said. “And (McGee) watched them die,” Burgess said.
