More than a month after four Americans were attacked and kidnapped by a drug cartel in Mexico, the two survivors say they're still recovering from the trauma of the terrifying ordeal and the killings of their friends.
An innocent Mexican bystander was killed during the encounter after being hit by a stray bullet almost a block and a half from where the Americans were taken, officials said.Williams and Washington McGee told CNN Brown and Woodward were both still alive when their limp bodies were dragged onto the truck bed."That's where Shaeed said, 'I love y'all, and I'm gone.' And he died right there," Williams said.
At one point, the group was taken to a house. Outside, they saw armed people in red, plastic "Diablo" masks who were "pointing the guns to our head, telling us not to look up," Williams said. "He was like, 'It's okay. I'm your brother. I'm supposed to be there for you. I love you,'" Washington McGee recalled.
"He was like, 'There's nothing that we can do to bring your two brothers back. But we're sorry. Somebody made the wrong call. They was high and drunk,'" Washington McGee recalled the man saying.At one point, Washington McGee and Williams were blindfolded and taken to a truck. Williams said his friends' bodies were then placed on top of him to keep him hidden.
