Thursday in the southwestern city of Cali, hit men on the lookout for two men in a white sedan gun down the wrong people as lunchtime traffic backs up. Then they see the real targets in the same traffic jam and so they run up to the vehicle and kill them too. And the whole mess was caught on a traffic camera. Police caught one of the alleged assassins shortly after the shooting.Original source: Yahoo News.
