It happened at a church. A Haitian was also killed. Haiti is crazy right now. Americans shouldn't be there.

I doubt if that was why they were killed. The mission runs a school and group home.

What if they were working for the UN? Often UN workers get killed in conflicts. Even vaccine workers get killed.
