The survivors — Eric Williams and Latavia “Tay” McGee — are being treated by doctors at Valley Regional Medical Center in Brownsville.

Williams’s wife — Michele — said he was shot in both legs and underwent surgery.

McGee’s condition is still unknown.

Williams and McGee were among the four individuals kidnapped at gunpoint on Friday after crossing into Matamoros in a minivan with North Carolina license plates.

Mexican officials said they were kidnapped following a shooting that was sparked by two rival gangs that opened fire on one another.

A 33-year-old unidentified woman was hit by a stray bullet in that shooting.

The four kidnapping victims were found in a wooden shack outside the city on Tuesday, and Tamaulipas Gov. Américo Villarreal said authorities arrested a 24-year-old man who was referred to as "Jose" who was guarding the victims.

McGee and Williams were transported by Brownsville EMS crews to Valley Regional.

Authorities believe the South Carolina natives were mistaken by the cartel for Haitian drug smugglers.

The bodies of the two deceased Americans will be transferred to the U.S.
