eight dead, including two school-age children, and dozens more seriously ill
early Sunday morning in a sweltering tractor trailer parked outside a
Walmart.
In what police are calling a horrific immigration smuggling case gone wrong,
nearly 40 people were found in the stifling tractor trailer. Survivors
later told investigators up to 100 people were packed into the truck at one
point, the Associated Press reports.
