Suspects hunted in Texas border are
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (AP) —Two brothers wanted on
charges of slaying five other migrant workers may be head
ed towar d Mexico or Texas, an investigator said Tuesday.
“I think these guys are en route to Texas, trying to get
across the border,” said Maj. Phil Sweatt of the Rich
mond County Sheriff’s Department.
Jose Luis Cruz Osorio, 28, and Alonso Cruz Osorio,
18, are charged with five counts of murder and five
counts of robbery. They are accused in a shooting spree
that killed five fellow workers and wounded another
late Sunday in a house they shared.
The men are believed to have moved here last spring
from Austin, Texas.
Investigators are focusing on Texas and Mexico be
cause a Charlotte cab driver told them the pair tried to
buy airline tickets to Mexico City or Dallas, Sweatt said.
When they failed, the brothers asked the cab driver to
take them to the bus station.
The car used to flee the scene was found Tuesday in
Charlotte. A cab driver called police and said he had picked
up two men who looked like the brothers on Monday.
“They went to a Wal-Mart store where they bought
some luggage and some other items and then he
them to the Charlotte airport,” Sweatt said. “There

Magee said the problem was lack of education among
the voters, poll workers and the Election Commission.
“Everyone needs to understand that if you don’t rank
all the candidates, you won’t have a vote in subsequent
rounds,” she said. “There was not a whole lot of time to
educate people and it was the beginning of the year so
everyone was busy at the start of school.”
Magee said the Senate will clearly define a majority in
the election regulations if the Senate votes to use the rank
ing system in the spring elections.
Pat Troy said that other than discrepancies beffi
definitions, the ranking system worked as plaimj
“I think the results of the ranking system are at?

date will have broader appeal to a broader numhj
students which means the officer will better repn

“Most prescriptions and diag
nostic changes that exist today did
n’t exist 20 years ago,” she said. “Two
decades out of all time and that’s
just the beginning. I can’t imagine a
more exciting time in medicine.”
Dickey said she encourages pre-
med students to continue with their
education although they will be
challenged in the next decade.
“No matter what your practice is,
the satisfaction of a patient who
feels better or lives is something you
cannot get out of any other profes
sion,” she said. “That’s something
no one can take away no matter
what happens with the health care
system in the future.”
