One firefight took place in the DÃaz Ordaz and Dos Estados districts of Reynosa, where a detachment of marines initiated a pursuit of armed suspects riding in a convoy. Gunfire was exchanged. Six armed suspects were killed when one of the vehicles caught fire, and presumably crashed. Nearby, marines also fought a gun battle with another group of armed suspects killing two, with one marine dead in the exchange. Nine suspects were arrested in total for both encounters. Marines seized a number of munitions including a rocket launcher tube, nine grenades, 4,400 rounds of small arms ammunition and about USD $5,264.00 in cash. They also seized 12 vehicles, and an unquantified number of bulletproof vests and military uniforms. Posted by: badanov 2010-09-28 |
