CASA
GRANDE, AZ - Two men shot earlier this week could be the result of the ongoing
battle between Mexican drug cartels now spilling over deep into Arizona,
officials say.
Pinal
County investigators say an area known as the smuggling corridor
now stretches from Mexico's border to metro Phoenix.
The
area , once an area for family hiking and off road vehicles has government
signs warning residents of the drug and human smugglers.
Night vision cameras have
photographed military armed cartel members delivering drugs to vehicles along
Highway 8.
"We
are three counties deep. How is it that you see pictures like these, not
American with semi and fully automatic rifles. How is that okay?" asked
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.
