Elements of the State Police and Military had a confrontation with members of the Cartel del Golfo, on the outskirts of the Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas, at this time it is unknown if there are dead or injured.
According to a video shared on social networks, the Sicarios fled in a Cherokee armored jeep on the Rio Bravo - Valle Hermoso highway, when two groups of Military saw and engaged them.
In the images one can observe how a citizen shot the video of the confrontation from inside a restaurant. The Military elements fired at them for a full 30 seconds a breach 109.
After the gun battle the Military confiscated the armored Jeep, rifles and ammunition, but it is unknown if there were any casualties.
Unofficial version of events indicate that the Sicarios were members of a cell of Commander Pelochas, Metro 28, who has an arrest warrant for continuous confrontations with authorities of Reynosa and Rio Bravo.
Valor por Tamaulipas also has some photos taken after the confrontation which I have added below.
