Mom of slain UPS driver says she didn't come to this country 'for my son to be killed' - NBC News

Luz Apolinario can't believe that she will be spending Christmas without her son Frank Ordoñez, the 27-year-old UPS driver who was killed during a police-involved shootout in Florida this week.

"I have no words to explain what I'm feeling," said the heartbroken mother in Spanish during an emotional interview with Telemundo. "He would tell me: 'Mom, all of us are going to be together this Christmas.'"

Ordoñez, a father of two, was working his route Thursday when his truck was comandeered in an attempted armed robbery that ended in a hail of gunfire.

Isn't that sort of understood already?

She was speaking Spanish so I have no idea what she was saying.

She is grieving... thoughts and prayers to her and the others devastated by this.
