6 rangers killed in mountain gorilla sanctuary
It was a routine patrol around 7:30 a.m. on Sunday when six rangers working at Virunga National Park in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo were ambushed by a local militia group. The attack is the latest in the part of eastern Congo home to some of the world's last mountain gorillas.
"It's devastating," Parks Director Emmanuel De Merode told CBS News as he was leaving the funeral for one of his six rangers. "The families of these men have lost breadwinners and have no safety net."
