Shootout between Armed Groups and Feds: 5 Dead




Translated by Valor for Borderland Beat

Armed commandos aboard three trucks ambushed federal police on Tuesday, passing through a vehicle in order to open fire.  Five gunmen were killed and the rest of the attackers managed to escape.

This new attack of violence occurred along a local road that connects the communal land Vergeles, located in the municipality of San Fernando, along a gap seven kilometers east of a road checkpoint known as the “Y”, located at kilometer 202 of highway Ciudad Victoria–Matamoros.

In that area, the gunmen passed through a Chevy Cheyenne over a gap and shot up the convoy of the federal forces.  After several minutes exchanging gunfire, the other two trucks with several gunmen on board escaped.

The occupants of the Cheyenne were gunned down; one inside the truck, two in the truck bed, and two more were left scattered in a field of sorghum.

In the agricultural area, an impressive operation was carried out by air and ground in order to locate the two other trucks, but the operation was unsuccessful.

The five bodies were taken to a funeral home in the seat of the municipal government of San Fernando.



Two Identified

In an official statement, the Tamaulipas Coordination Group confirmed that at kilometer 202 of highway San Fernando-Matamoros, at the height of a gap leading to the communal land Loma Alta, federal police officers and Federal Forces Division members were attacked by armed gunmen who were traveling aboard three trucks.

“Upon repelling the aggression in defense for their lives, the federal police shot dead five of the attackers, two of which have been identified as Miguel Muñoz Herrera and José Manuel Medina Méndez.

They were all travelling aboard a white Chevy Cheyenne, without license plates,” he said.

The federal police stated that around 16:30 hours, they were carrying out ground patrols along the highway when they were hit and attacked.


Inside the truck, they secured three high caliber weapons, a .50 caliber Barrett, 33 full magazine cartridges, some loose rounds of ammunition, a fragmentation grenade, four bulletproof vests, and coolers, among other objects.

    8. Legal immigrant is the key word here morons. His wives weren't illegal. They came legally. Yall really look stupid with all this viva anything Mexican even if it's ILLEGAL! Trump wants legal immigration and all this open border stuff stopped. What's wrong with that? Now if you just said flat out you were for open borders then I could at least credit you with being honest. But all this misrepresentation and flat out lying about Trumps policy makes you look very weak minded.

    9. Actually 11:00am his current wife came here legally but stayed here illegally when her visa expired, but Trump pulled some strings. The word on the street is she was actually an ILLEGAL when they were wed. But I doubt that information is available for the publics viewing just like his tax returns. Technically she should have been deported and forced to wait to re-enter the US LEGALLY. I don't know what the exact time frame is but it should have been no less than 6 months to 1 year for a minor violation and up to 5 to 10 years for a major violation. Every passed President has failed at comprehensive immigration reform and I will guarantee if Trump is president he will do the same. Regardless whether a person is here legally or illegally it doesn't affect a citizens day to day life so I truly don't understand the urgency Trump has placed on it. We have bigger problems and issues to worry about in this country. But for some reason Trump has gotten entitled white Americans believing immigration is the reason for their woes. The truth is if these same individuals would get off their entitled asses and work two jobs or work a job they believe is beneath them their situation would improve. I personally had to learn the hard way but I can admit I LEARNED. Don't think the status quo will change just because the name of the President and the party he/she represents changes along with it.

    10. If you don't think mass illegal unassimilating immigration is a big problem your blind. Entitled white America? How about entitled illegals?!!! There's a huge entitlement program for you right there. Billions of dollars. Us entitled white Americans are working. And paying for it!!!! Wake up pal.... the free ride needs to end. Mexico needs to fix their corrupt Cartel run country.You imagine if there were millions of Republican voting illegals?? Barak would have the military at the border. This won't go on forever. We're one big terrorist attack away from closed borders. Sad

    1. Police have been killed by the criminals. Just not at the same rate. And by the numbers you can always assume that the criminals think that by shooting a gun you will always hit your target and no way Jose. It takes practice.

    2. There is an article on the blog page about the kill ratio between cartel members and the military. I will summarize by saying that you don't want to get in a battle with military forces in Mexico. You will die.

    3. It's not really a "shootout". The Feds ask the suspected (keyword still), drug dealers to surrender. After they surrender then they just execute them and make up a story.
      Another scenario the feds simply ambush a truck full of once again "suspected" drug dealers and makes up a story!
      You really cannot believe the Feds in Mexico when there are no witneses around.

      Delete
    4. Why feel sympathy for any of them? They chose to be in a "kill or be killed" occupation and paid the ultimate price. I say "kill 'em all." I am very impressed with the professionalism of the Mexican Marines. They just seem to kick ass and take names in any armed conflict they are in. Their KIA's are very few. Me thinks they shoot straight!

      Delete
    5. The thing about Mexico is that you are guilty until proven innocent. This goes the same for anyone the Feds "suspect" being criminals which means by law they have the right to engage anyone they want to and if a mistake is made then a covet up story can be made to avoid repercussions.

  5. This is the small city where the 2 mass killings occurred 4 or 5 years ago by Zetas? Last time I drove north on 180 through San Fernando, an Army outpost/checkpoint had been built and they searched my truck thoroughly and asked a lot of questions. That was about 2-3 years ago. There were quite a lot of soldiers there at the time.

    1. Bro, these narcos were ambushed by the federales not the other way around. If the narcos did the ambushing they would have had the upper hand with the fire power they possessed. It's obvious the narcos were at a disadvantage because five are dead and the feds had zero fatalities. Two of the gun men died in the bed of the pickup but there arent any bullet impacts in the bed of the pickup. And I doubt there were any other vehicles involved or additional narcos. My guess is they were all inside the vehicle when they were ambushed then the firearms were planted on them. Best believe when you are dealing with a story about the Mexican feds 99% of it is bullshit.

  11. Who is really to blame for all the drugs, gangs, and murder? Its the Government of Mexico for not uplifting the poor families to give them hope and opportunity for their children. A redistribution of wealth can be accomplished giving the poor families a guaranteed annual income. This can be done in two ways which won't be easy. A surtax must be placed on the wealthy citizens and corporations based upon a graduated scale. The property taxes are too low and asset values need to be ascertained above an average to increase property taxes. This can be used for improving community infrastructure creating jobs for the citizens in villages, towns, and cities. Mexico needs to uplift the poor to a higher level giving them hope, opportunity, and a higher living standard. Mexicans are a proud people who deserve better in life with hope for tomorrow.

    1. 12:33 taxing will not bring in enough moneys to the mexican government the US chose and paid for, for mexico, on top of that, the rich make laws by which they end up paying no taxes, in exchange for a kickback here and there, the drug money always ends up in European or amerikkkan banks, so do not expect to legalize and "tax the drug trade", you could tax pederastia, but you'd have to lift the masks there...
      I'd propose a bastille day, go by the prisons and let the prisoners chose the politicians or the rich they want killed dead, or sent in to keep 'em company, after a while let the prisoners tear down their prison...

  12. It would be great to read a story that actually told the truth. How about this? The Mexican Marines came across a convoy of cartel gunmen and ordered them to stop. One stopped and two trucks fled. Three occupants of the truck that stopped were then disarmed and shot and killed and the other two ran off when they realized they were going to be executed. They were caught in a field and killed. Now is that so hard?
