By the way, this is tragic but moreso, these were members of the Conservative Party, PAN, Patido Accion Nacional, National Action Party.  It appears to be big news down there, say, as if this happened to a prominent politician here. Obviously, the scenario is different.

I also, added a video from the Excelsior newspaper after the story, one of their major newspapers (the major one  IMHO, like WaPo or NYT say). So, that is in Spanish.
