A total of four unidentified armed suspects were killed in a firefight in Saltillo, Coahuila late Monday night, according to Mexican news accounts. The gunfight took place in Lamadrid colony near the intersection of calles Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz and Luis G. Urbina where an unidentified detachment of the Mexican Army, probably with the 6th Military Zone exchanged gunfire with armed suspects. At that location soldiers apparently seized four AR-15 and AK-47 rifles, 17 weapons magazines, and 548 rounds of AR-15 ammunition and 189 rounds of AK-47 ammunition. The suspects were in a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV when the gunfight took place, which was also seized at the scene. The Secretaria de Defensa Nacional (SEDENA), the controlling agency for the Mexican Army has not released any information about the gunfight on its website at posting time. Units of the Mexican Army had engaged in a series of gunfights against armed suspects two weeks ago in and around Saltillo, at the time reporting one dead. Later it was confirmed a total of four suspects died in those gun battles. To read the Rantburg report on the November 9th gunfights in Saltillo, click here |
