To those looking for Elsa's condition (La Mijita, El Rosario).
Hi,
As some of you already know, yesterday morning (Saturday Nov. 15th), there was a shooting at in El Rosario at La Mijita's place... according to eye
witnesses, a vehicle made a drive by shooting at the place with R15's and other semi-automatic weapons... supposedly the target were a couple of "self
employed" locals... three people were shot and killed.
Elsa (the owner of the place AKA La Mijita) was also shot and wounded... she was taken to a hospital in San Quintin were they found that a bullet
perforated her intestine and a major organ... they were unable to do anything for her so she was taken to Ensenada.
Today (Sunday) around 2:00 pm, it was decided to move her to a major Hospital in Tijuana, since the facilities in Ensenada were also unable to do
anything for her.
Elsa's condition was critical... do not know if she has arrived to Tijuana yet... I will post more info as I get informed.
We are praying for her and her family.
God help us all.

Thank you Antonio,
We hoped that the news was not so serious---just hate it when the innocent become the victim.
We will continue to send positive thoughts and energy her way and so hope for her recovery.
What is happening to the good people of Baja is just not right-----

Very nice to meet you, Newbie.

Different people deal with such situations in different ways and one of those is with humor. I doubt that those comments cited were meant to make fun
of those who deal with or fall victims to such events but only as a means to deal with the fear we all face in such trying times.
We all just need to lighten up and focus on the more important things like the fragile state of this poor woman and the safety of all who tread on
this peninsula as residents and visitors.
Our prayers are with Elsa - please keep us updated Antonio...

Very troubling situation... El Rosario seems too far south to even have concerns about this sort of thing happening... But I guess no matter where we
are in Baja, we're not in a vacuum and anything can happen!
Along with all the others, we also send our thoughts, hope and prayers for a full and speedy recovery for Elsa and comfort for her family.

I also hope that none of y'all get shot anywhere south of Tijuana. Transferred from San Quintin to Ensenada then to Tijuana?
Also a crime.

One of the small lessons here is to get to the best hospitial in the area first. Not second, or third. Nothing good happens to a critical patient
while getting moved around in transit. Hope she recovers fully.

This stuff is all over Baja in my opinion. The drugs get moved north one way or another. The narcos are everywhere. It's just the violence that is
spreading. It still amazes me how the narcos are able to move the drugs up the Baja Peninsula with the military presence..
A good friend of ours in Asuncion was affected by this shooting as well. We got the bad news just before we left. It's really sad but also a
reality.

thanks to Antonio for keeping us/me abreast of the situation.
it seems that Elsa's husband Santos was also there at the fateful moment and was hit in the hand, meaning he was there to see his beautiful wife in
need and his world fall into chaos.
i wake up 3-4 times every night thinking about how best to send my positive vibration to Elsa. she was the last in a long line of great Baja people
that this should ever happen to. this is one of the truly good Baja families......
my wife and i are hoping the hospital will allow us to visit. as of now it is only "family".
PLEASE KEEP HER IN YOUR PRAYERS....
Thank You
KEEP HER IN YOUR THOUGHTS!!!

May God bless her...
I am very sad to informed you I was just told Elsa passed away...
I am shock and have no more words at the moment... I am leaving right now to the hospital to see if there is any support or help I can offer her
family.
Elsa was a very kind and a good human being, she did not deserved what happened to her... May God bless her soul.
