Am I not understanding the situation?

People on vacation are seeking peace and relaxation. There have been people shot and killed every few days here in Zihuatanejo, for the past month or so. When these were bad guys killing other bad guys, people did not pay too much attention. But when innocent women were caught in the crossfire, in the middle of the day, on a busy street that many of us frequent daily, it is a different story. Machine gun fire is pretty upsetting no matter where or when it happens. But when it is two blocks away and you hear it from your house, or when it happens while you are walking down the street, you do take notice. The woman who was killed was a 60-year old professor. She was originally from Mexico City and had lived in Zihua for 16 years. Taken to the hospital were her two companions -- another woman and a girl. This happened in the middle of the afternoon in a busy area of a beach resort. I don't blame people for being upset and outraged.
