In two separate attacks, cartel gunmen murdered two Americans attached to the U..S. consulate in Juarez.

A female consulate employee, along with her husband were gunned down on Saturday afternoon as they were leaving a consulate social event. The American couple was murdered after being chased-down by the hitmen. Their baby daughter who was in the backseat survived the assault.

The Mexican husband of another consulate worker was also shot dead, after gunmen boxed in his car. His wife, who was traveling in the car behind him was uninjured, though the couple’s two children were wounded in the attack.

While President Obama said the coordinated attacks “outraged” him, he has not taken any action in retaliation for the murdered diplomats.

Over the last two years, 4,600 people have been murdered in Juarez.

This past weekend, 27 people were murdered in and around the Acapulco resort area. Four of them were beheaded.
