19 Gunmen Killed In Clashes With Mexico Police by Sirlegendy(m): 1:12pm On Jul 01, 2017
The fighting was some of the worst in the
southern part of the state in recent months,
since a battle errupted over the restructuring of
the powerful Sinaloa cartel following last year's
capture of its leader Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman. Clashes killed 19 gunmen and injured five
police officers in the northern Mexican state of
Sinaloa, the heart of operations of some of the
country’s biggest drug traffickers, authorities
said Saturday. The incident occurred late Friday when a group
of gunmen clashed with Mazatlan city police
who were on a routine tour led by local police
chief Joel Ernesto Soto. The confrontation began around 8:00 pm
(0100 GMT) in the town of Villa Union when
police repelled the gunmen’s assault, Sinaloa
deputy secretary of security Cristobal
Castaneda said. The 19 men, who were riding in four vehicles,
pursued their confrontation by a highway,
where they were killed by municipal police. “They faced quite a number of aggressors, but
thanks to their training and professionalism,
they managed to get ahead. The wounded
policemen are well,” Castaneda told reporters. At the scene of the clash, four vehicles, 15 rifles
and seven handguns were found. Officials said the fighting was some of the worst
in the southern part of the state in recent
months, since a battle errupted over the
restructuring of the powerful Sinaloa cartel
following last year’s capture of its leader
Joaquin “Chapo” Guzman. The internal war over the group’s leadership
has led to escalating violence in Sinaloa this
year, with more than 760 murders in early
June, a figure not seen since 2011, according
to the state security secretary. Violence has also increased in other states. The
latest available official data indicate that May
was the deadliest for Mexico since official
records began in 1997, with a total of 2,186
willful homicides.
