Raging Gun Battles In Mexico City Kill 4, Wound 2
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Residents of the northern Mexico border city of Matamoros are recovering from a night of terror in which raging gun battles left civilians diving for cover.
The government of the border state of Tamaulipas said Saturday that three gunmen, including a leader of the Gulf Cartel, were killed in the firefights with police.
A female municipal employee who was apparently caught in the crossfire also died, and two civilians and two suspects were wounded.
The drug gang gunmen opened fire on police, who found a bulletproof vehicle along with four .50-caliber sniper rifles at the scene.
A total of four suspected gunmen were arrested. Their identities are unknown at this time.
