A Mexican Army unit exchanged gunfire with armed suspects in Torreon, Coauila, killing four and seizing a number of munitions at the scene Friday, according to Mexican press accounts.

The unit was dispatched by emergency communications after a report was received concerning armed suspects in the Francisco I. Madero colony.

The unit encountered armed suspects who were riding aboard a sedan on Los Ministros road, who attempted to flee. Maneuvering by army vehicles forced the suspects to abandon their vehicle and seek shelter in two abandoned farms where they began firing on army units.

Four unidentified armed suspects died in the battle. Soldiers seized in the aftermath two .22 caliber rifles, one .30-30 caliber carbine, one .38 Special revolver and 124 rounds of ammunition.
