Chicago Teen in Critical Condition After Deadly Ambush in Mexico

A 14-year-old boy is fighting for his life after an attack in Durango left his father, uncle, and a relative dead during a family trip.

Jason Peña, 14, was critically injured in a shooting in Durango, Mexico, that killed his father, uncle, and a Mexican relative during a holiday visit.
The family was ambushed on a dark road while driving to get food and drinks, with three of the victims suffering fatal gunshot wounds to the head.
Peña is in a medically induced coma and was airlifted to Texas for advanced medical care after initial treatment in Mexico proved inadequate.
The U.S. State Department confirmed the deaths of two U.S. citizens and is assisting the family while Mexican authorities investigate the attack.
The motive for the ambush remains unclear, though the area is under a U.S. travel advisory due to rising violence and cartel activity.
