The Tamaulipas state security department said the attack happened on the Roma-Ciudad Miguel Alemán International Bridge that spans the Rio Grande and connects the town of Miguel Aleman with Roma, Texas.
Mexico's National Migration Institute said in a news release there were 20 people traveling in the convoy — 16 Mexican nationals and four U.S. citizens — riding in two trucks, a van and a pickup truck.
