A retired American couple was found fatally shot inside their Mexico home after a botched robbery Saturday, authorities said. “It was an attempted robbery, and an individual went to defend his property, and that’s when they shot him,” Octavio Lopez, a top local government official, told the Union-Tribune. Another neighbor, identified by the newspaper as former off-road racing champion Roger Mears, discovered the pair’s bodies. “We have no memory of having a shooting here,” Tom Mitchell, an American who also has a home in Bahia de los Angeles, told the Union-Tribune. Neighbors told the newspaper that Ball may have heard a noise outside and took his bat to investigate when he was shot as he opened the back door of his home.
