Big Shootout Closes I-10 South of Phoenix. Coyotes wars, while Vincente Fox is in Phoenix. Fox did not even respond. 4 arrested in I-10 shooting that left 4 dead, 5 wounded The Arizona Republic Nov. 4, 2003 04:35 PM Four men were in custody Tuesday afternoon after a dramatic freeway shooting just north of Casa Grande that left four people dead and five others wounded. Nine undocumented immigrants, who fled from the scene and into the nearby desert, were found near Sacaton and detained. Two to four others were being sought late Tuesday afternoon with the aid of a Black Hawk helicopter. Pinal County Sheriff Roger Vanderpool said the incident was believed to be related to immigrant smuggling. "It was all coyote (immigrant smuggler) versus coyotes stuff," Mike Minter, spokesman for the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, told the Associated Press. He declined to elaborate. Migrant smuggling has been getting more dangerous as violent drug dealers move into the lucrative business of bringing immigrants from Mexico into Arizona, one of the hottest illegal entry points on the U.S.-Mexico border. Vanderpool said the suspects, all Hispanic men, were being questioned in the death of four other Hispanic men who were shot about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday as they drove down Interstate 10 in a two-car convoy toward Phoenix. Five other people were wounded in the gunfire, and three more were hurt in a related traffic accident. Four of the victims, who were traveling in a brown Ford pickup, were found dead in and around their truck after it crashed into the I-10 median near Casa Grande. Three other people from the pickup were wounded. Two others, a woman and a man who were traveling in a green Ford Explorer, were also shot. Arizona Department of Public Safety officers stopped the Explorer just west of Elliot Road on I-10. The suspects, who were traveling in a gray Dodge Caravan, were arrested after running from the van into the desert in Chandler. Gila River Indian Community police found the Caravan abandoned at Riggs Road and I-10. Three assault weapons were recovered from the Caravan, officials said. Westbound I-10 traffic was detoured off the freeway just north of Casa Grande for several hours for the investigation, creating a 90-minute delay for drivers heading into Phoenix by late afternoon azcentral.com Mexico's Fox meets with Arizona officials Mexican President Vicente Fox stressed the importance of continuing dialogue on a migration agreement with the United States at the start Tuesday of a visit to three border states. Fox said he was able to talk with Arizona officials who have proposed in Congress a guest worker program for Mexican workers. "This is one more avenue to build with the migration issue as well as with U.S. government," he said. Fox met privately with Arizona officials Tuesday as he sought to expand trade relations and push opportunities for Mexican workers. Fox, who is accompanied by Mexican state and congressional officials and business leaders, said he looked forward to working with Arizona officials to strengthen an already close relationship. "Conversations (today) will certainly make sure we will advance on this very important relationship," he said as he arrived. He met with Gov. Janet Napolitano and other business and political leaders in the morning and was scheduled to hold a community meeting in downtown Phoenix and to meet with local clergy. Fox's wife, Marta Sahagun, said she was focused on ensuring that the rights of women and children who cross the border into the United States are protected. She planned to push for education and health care of immigrants. But Sahagun also said, "We want to create each time more and more opportunities in our country so that our children can remain in their nation." Fox's visit is the first by a foreign head of state to Arizona since Pope John Paul II came in 1987. azcentral.com
