A shooutout in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon between a detachment of the Mexican Army and armed suspects left five suspects wounded from an ensuing vehicle crash, according to Mexican news reports.

A Mexican Army patrol was dispatched to the shopping center La Plaza Revolucion near the intersection of Calle Chapultepec and Avenida Revolucion following reports of armed suspects in a convoy.

The patrol was fired on by the suspects. One of the vehicles during the firefight crossed Avenida Revolucion and crashed inside a parking garage, wounding five. The five suspects fled aboard another vehicle which rescued them.

In other action later that night, an army patrol was fired on in front of the Centro Medico Tauro on calle Santa Rosalía in the Nuevalinda colony by armed suspects aboard trucks parked in front of the hospital.

Return fire by the military caused the suspects to flee from the scene in different directions.

A GMC pickup truck overturned and crashed damaging nine vehicles attempting to flee. A Volkswagen Jetta was abandoned by armed suspects near the corner of calles Tauro and Santa Rosalia.

Near the intersection of avenida Tauro and Arroyo Talaverna an SUV carrying armed suspects crashed into a post. The fourth vehicle was abandoned near the corner of Ruiz Cortínez and Tauro.

Reports say the suspects were watching hospitals trying to catch wounded rivals to finish them off.
