Three armed suspects were killed by a detachment of the Mexican Army in Coahuila Saturday, according to Mexican news reports.
- A Saltillo, Coahuila municipal police substation was attacked by armed suspects using hand grenades at about 1740 hrs. Friday. The device detonated in the parking lot of the Delagacion Sur station near the corner of Periferico Luis Echeverria Alvarez and Bulevar W. Gonzalez. Two municipal police officers were wounded in the attack. Damage was limited to three official patrol units.
- A pursuit and a subsequent exchange in gunfire in Coahuila between a detachment of the Mexican Army and armed suspects has left three unidentified suspects dead. Reports say the army unit pulled in for a refueling stop at a gas station on kilometer 83 of the Saltillo-Monclova section of Mexico Highway 57 when soldiers observed a Chevrolet Suburban leaving the scene at a high rate of speed. Suspects aboard the vehicle refused a signal to pull over, and instead opened fire on the army unit initiating a pursuit and gunfight that lasted several minutes. One soldier was reportedly wounded.
