Four unidentified alleged members of the Los Zetas criminal gang were killed in a gunfight with elements of the Mexican Army in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon early Friday morning, say Mexican press reports.
Soldiers were acting on an phoned in tip about gang activity at a residence on Calle ParÃÂs in the Villaluz district when they were fired on by suspects. A brief firefight ensued where four armed suspects were killed and one soldier wounded.
Three unidentified suspects were arrested.
Seized in the aftermath were nine rifles and two handguns inside three vehicles.
In a second operation, a detachment of Mexican soldiers arrested two unidentified suspects on calle Santa Clara in the Santa Fe district.
Soldiers also seized two rifles, three handguns and a hand grenade inside a vehicle.
In other Mexican Army action in Monterrey, a brief car chase took place late Thursday night between a detachment of the Mexican Army and armed suspects in the Linda Vista municipality (county) of Guadalupe in Monterrey.
Soldiers observed a red van carrying armed suspects and, attempting to stop the vehicle, initiated a chase and a shootout.
The chase continued along Avenida Miguel Alemän until it reached Avenida Constituyentes de Nuevo León where the driver lost control and dumped the vehicle over a bridge into traffic on Bulevar Miguel de la Madrid.
It is unclear how many people were in the van when it crashed, but after the military took time to close the streets, one suspect was found and arrested.
