I'm posting in this thread whenever crap like this happens, I don't care if I'm double, triple or n-posting. I'm gonna keep informing you guys.
14 killed in party, 19 injured (English), Spanish.
On Friday night (the night that his happened), I was supposed to go back to the US. But since it was already too late, I decided to stay the night with my grandparent's, in Mexico and head to US the next morning. I had called my parent's to tell them that I wasn't going to go the US that night, because it was too late and I was tired (school project had kept me up until around 3 AM on Thursday/Friday). My friends where having a party on Friday night, since they had just gotten a house (in Juarez) for themselves and I was invited, but I declined the offer, since my plan was to go to the US that night. As I was calling my parents, I thought on mentioning to them the party and asking for their permission to go to that party (yes, I'm 23 years old and I have to ask permission to go to parties, well, it's more like giving them a notice). But I decided that I was too tired and I wouldn't be able to stay awake past midnight, so I didn't tell 'em about and just stayed over at my grandparent's house. By 11 PM I was already sleeping.
On Saturday morning, I wake up at around 10 AM, take a shower and get my stuff ready to head on over to my parents' house in the US. While I'm downstairs getting some water for my trip, my grandma tells me that their was a shooting at a party. I started to panic, a lot. She told that around 15 students were killed. Oh my God, I felt horrible and almost wanted to puke. I asked her where it was, where it happened. She told me that she couldn't remember, but just pointed in the direction of the house of where my friends were having a party last night. I kept asking her to remember where it was, and I told her if it was around the area where my friends now lived and she told me that no, it was further down south.
I've never felt anything like that. It sucked, a lot. Part of my was relieved that it wasn't my friends, but it wasn't really relief, since it could've been my friends. Those that got murdered on Friday were someone else's friends, family members, sons, daughters, cousins. What the f'uck is wrong with this place!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE!?!?!?!?!?
The latest news about this is that the gunmen were asking for a person nick-named "the Mouse", but no one in the party answered, then the massacre happened. The headline in the newspaper today was "Nobody wants to talk? Shoot them all.", which seems like a quote from the head gunman at the Friday night party.

Quote:In the border city of Ciudad Juarez, meanwhile, the death toll from a birthday party massacre late Friday rose to 14 after an 18-year-old male died of his wounds.
Nineteen people were wounded in the attack on two private homes where about four dozen partygoers had gathered for a teen's birthday.
The dead identified so far were 13 to 32 years old, and the majority of the victims were high school students, a survivor said.
While investigators said they have not yet identified the perpetrators or a motive, police found 70 bullet casings from assault weapons typically used by drug gangs at the scene of the shootings. Cartel violence has killed more than 2,000 people so far this year in the city across from El Paso, Texas.
Drug gangs have increasingly attacked private parties that they believe members of rival gangs might be attending; other innocent partygoers are often killed in such attacks.
On Sunday, prosecutors in northern Chihuahua state, where Ciudad Juarez is located, said they were searching for a man known only by his nickname, "The Mouse," who was apparently the target of the gunmen.
The man was reportedly wounded in the Friday shooting, but has disappeared. Investigators said they believe he can shed light on who was trying to kill him.
Memorial services were held Sunday for some of the victims of Friday's attack, and prosecutors said that guards had been provided to protect those services.
Friday's attack recalled a similar massacre in Ciudad Juarez in January, when gunmen killed 15 people at a house party.
