Five state and local police officers were killed in small arms attacks in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon Wednesday night, including one attack on a state police headquarters, according to Mexican press reports.

Armed suspects attacked the building housing the Nuevo Leon Secretaria de Seguridad Publica del Estado (SSPE) on avenida Ruiz Cortines in the Valle Verde colony with assault rifles. Two hand grenades were also thrown at the building but neither detonated.

Three police agents and a doctor on duty were killed, while other Mexican news reports say only two police were killed in the attack. Two other police were reported wounded in the attack as well.

Meanwhile an unidentified uniformed police officer near the intersection of avenidas Miguel Aleman and Constituyentes de Nuevo Leon was shot and killed.
