A Queen Creek family is mourning the deaths of at least 10 relatives, including three mothers and their young children, killed Monday in an ambush in Sonora.
The three mothers who were killed lived in a Mormon community in the state of Sonora and had dual U.S. and Mexican citizenship, according to Leah Staddon, who grew up in the same Mormon community, Bavispe, before moving to Queen Creek.
The three mothers were driving from Bavispe to a wedding in LaBaron, another Mormon community in the state of Chihuahua, when their three vehicles loaded with children were attacked by gunfire, causing one of the vehicles to explode in flames.
Staddon said her nephew's wife and her four children, among them twin 4-month-old babies, died in the blaze.
She said her brother discovered the bullet-ridden vehicle still smoldering with the charred bodies inside and shot a video as evidence.
"It's devastating," Staddon said. "It's incomprehensible, the evil. I don’t understand how someone could do that."
