WARNING STRONG MULTIPLE BLOODY IMAGES ON NEXT PAGE VIEW WITH CAUTION

After the gun battle, seven aggressors had lost their lives, and the authorities had confiscated two AR15 rifles, three AK47′s, a revolver, and a nine mm pistol, as well as tactical jackets, various magazines and ammunition of various calibers.

Two Army elements had received bullet wounds, but there had been no wounded on the part of the Police Corporations. In the operation, elements of the Army, PGJ and SSP of Tamaulipas had participated.

(Otis: One can speculate from the pictures below that this did not go down as a firefight, more than likely from my point of view these look like extrajudicial revenge killings, the last picture shows a guy who has been emasculated, one looks like he had the buckwheat treatment ( shot in the rear end ), others have only been shot in the legs and allowed to bleed out.)
