Four armed suspects were killed Thursday in Tamaulipas state in a firefight Tuesday with a unit of the Mexican Army, according to Mexican news accounts. Pro'ly not a good idea to take on the regular Mexican army... The unit, part of the Mexican 4th Military Region came under small arms fire while on patrol in Valle Hermoso, Tamaulipas. Army counterfire killed four armed suspects. A total of 18 individuals, including three women surrendered to the army unit. In the aftermath, 47 rifles, 297 weapons magazines, 7,107 rounds of ammunition, tactical and communications gear and a vehicle were seized. Another Mexican Army unit encountered armed suspects in the same municipality last December 10th, which is also Human Rights Day, killing 11 armed suspects and arresting two.
