Six unidentified suspects were shot and killed by an Mexican Army patrol Monday night in Los Herrera municipality, according to Mexican news accounts.

Four men and two women were killed in the incident. Reports are unclear as to if the suspects fired on the army patrol first, but news reports make clear shot were exchanged.

The suspects were travelling aboard a Chevrolet Aveo and a Honda sedan along Los Herrera-Cerralvo when they encountered the army patrol.

Agents with the Nuevo Leon Agencia Estatal de Investigaciones (AEI) said that several assault rifles and quantities of ammunition were found in the vehicles, along with quantities of drugs, which type was not disclosed in reports.

It was also disclosed that the dead were probably part of one of the Tamaulipas drug gangs, though the report did not elaborate.

Los Herrera is about 75 kilometers die east of Monterrey, astride a road linking Mexican Federal Highway 40 with Federal Highway 54 in Cerralvo.
