A woman reacts after arriving to a crime scene where a relative was gunned down in the border city of Ciudad Juarez August 22, 2008. More than 2,000 people have died this year in Mexico's drug war, mostly between rival gangs, in a fight for control of smuggling corridors into the United States. Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, has the highest murder toll of the country this year, with 867 killed, according to media. Picture taken August 22, 2008.
