Amadeus night club in Juarez, Mexico.
Two members of the U.S. military, including an airman on leave from Holloman Air Force Base, are among six people killed at a strip club by gunmen believed to be engaged in a drug feud in Juarez, Mexico.
Officials with Holloman's 49th Fighter Wing confirmed that Staff Sgt. David Booher was killed at the Amadeus night club in Juarez. The other military member, and the other victims, have not been identified.
No word on how many were wounded in the shootings.
Reports say that people ran out of the strip club as the shooters fled into the city.
Police believe the feud was over drug routes into the United States.
More than 14,000 people have died in drug-related violence in the city since 2006, when the Mexican president launched a crackdown.
