In the same tweet he showed the videos where one of the subjects is seen pointing a gun at one of the people who was traveling in the car after parking on a street. After a few minutes let the family go.
Another tweet shows the bullet impact of the car.
This was the shot they were fired in the assault and the sad thing is that this already seems normal in this country. https://t.co/qL6vFBGsba pic.twitter.com/gpjjS42DBt

The events occurred days after the attack against journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva, who was shot directly by armed individuals 200 meters from his home.
Omar García Harfuch, Secretary of Citizen Security of Mexico City, acknowledged that the attack against journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva was directly and specifically to attempt on his life.
After the events, journalists and communicators spoke about it.
“The attack is against all journalists who every day bother someone with the information we give or for the opinion we express about people and groups who would prefer their actions to be buried by silence and indifference,” they point out through a video.
On the same day that they made an attempt on the life of journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva, near his home in Mexico City, they also attempted to kill Flavio Reyes de Dios, a journalist in Palenque, Chiapas.
