Government data shows hundreds of 'malicious homicides' happened last year in the Mexican state where 4 Americans were recently kidnapped.
Two of the four Americans shot at and kidnapped by gunmen as they crossed into Matamoros, Mexico on March 3 are now back in the United States receiving medical care.
Law enforcement in Mexico said they have started an investigation, including ballistics testing of casings and other details from the scene to search for clues to try and find those responsible for the killings and kidnappings. As the case of the kidnapped Americans receives national and international attention, some journalists in Mexico point out that killings in Mexico of Mexican nationals often don't spark the same kind of attention.
