Note: The attack appears to be 40mm grenades from a grenade launcher.

Two Monterrey, Nuevo Leon police were wounded in a grenade attack early Tuesday morning, according to Mexican news accounts.

A patrol of the Nuevo Leon Seguridad Pública del Estado (SPE) had stopped at a convenience store buy a snack when armed suspects aboard a sedan launched two grenades at the officers from atop nearby bridge.

The attack took place at a store near the intersection of Avenida Bernardo Reyes and Calle Fidel Velazquez in the Ferrocarrilera district.

Carlos Rocha and Claudia Velazquez were treated by paramedics at the scene and then transported to a hospital. They are expected to survive the attack.

Reports say the attackers also fired on the officers with a pistol before fleeing the scene.

This is the third attack in three days using grenades in Nuevo Leon against Mexican law enforcement. None of the two previous attacks involved any wounded.
