Christian Post – Days after watching the execution of his mother and two of his brothers by armed gunmen in Mexico last Monday, Devin Langford, 13, who walked 14 miles and several hours to get help for his surviving siblings, said he prayed to God over and over to get him through the ordeal.

The teenager’s mother, Dawna Langford, and his younger brothers, Trevor, 11, and Rogan, 2, were among nine women and children from a fundamentalist Mormon community who were shot and torched to death in broad daylight by gunmen, suspected to be members of a drug cartel, on Nov. 4, in what authorities believe may have been a case of mistaken identity.

Recalling the events in an interview with ABC News, Devin said when the gunmen started raining bullets on the vehicle his mother was driving, the last thing she told him was to “get down right now.” The shooting he said appeared to have damaged the vehicle and prevented it from working. He could hear his mother praying to God for help to get the car moving again but it wouldn’t start. “She was trying to pray to the Lord, and she was trying to start the car up to get out of there,” Devin said.
