Three dead armed suspects are the balance of a confrontation with a detachment of the Mexican Army in Gomez Palacio, Durango, say Mexican press sources.
The gunfight took place near the intersection of calles Valle del Guadiana and Tamzula in the Industrial district at around 0230 hrs when an army patrol signalled the driver of a Volkswagen Bora, which had several individuals on board, to pull over, but instead were fired on.
Soldiers returned fire killing three and arresting a fourth man.
In the vehicle were found three AK-15 assault rifles and a Star brand .380 automatic pistol, along with several magazines for the weapons. Soldiers also seized a radio.
Gomez Palacio is just across the Durango state border with Coahuila and is next to Torreon.
