"Americans in Puerto Vallarta were urged to stay indoors as narco gangs went on a bloody rampage after leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes was killed in a military raid on Sunday. Carnage spread up the west coast of the country through Sunday, with reports of attacks getting closer to the States in Baja California while gunfire erupted at Guadalajara International Airport."
"We were told to shelter in place right now, we need to stay in the hotel, it was safer here, but it is not safe to travel to the airport. The road is closed due to the cartel. There's no flights going out of the airport to the States. We've rescheduled them for tomorrow afternoon, really hoping we make it home. Just going to pray we make it home tomorrow. This is unprecedented here, the hotel staff have been saying this has never happened before."
