At least two unidentified suspects in their 20s were killed in an armed confrontation with a unit of the Mexican Army, according to Mexican news accounts.
However, a Mexican blogger identified as Valor por Tamaulipas claims that six armed suspects were killed and a Mexican army rifleman was wounded in the firefight which occurred Monday afternoon at around 1640 hrs.
In a press release posted on its official website, the Tamaulipas state Procuraduria General de Justicia del Estado or attorney general said that the two armed suspects were travelling aboard a Nissan Titan pickup truck when it crossed paths with a Mexican Army road patrol in El Olmito colony.
The suspects were identified as Julio Enrique Ramirez Rios and Janer Francisco Cano, both from Reynosa. Soldiers also seized six rifles at the scene in the aftermath.
