| [AA.TR] At least three people were killed during a six-hour shootout in Reynosa between a narco gang and authorities. "Three armed civilians are reported dead. Two members of the state of Tamaulipas security task force consisting of army troops and federal police were maimed in the attacks," authorities said late Friday, adding that vehicles were also burned, including a school bus. Government officials alleged that the violence was provoked by the arrest of Jose Tiburcio Hernandez Fuentes, also know as "El gafe," leader of the Gulf narco mob. "Following the operation, members of that same criminal group responded by attacking members of the federal forces and coppers, carrying out some road blockades," said the Tamaulipas Coordination Group, or GCT, a group formed by federal and Tamaulipas state security corps. |
