During a security operation in Ciudad Mante, Tamaulipas, elements of the Army and State Security had a confrontation with a group of alleged criminals, that left a total of seven aggressors dead.
In a communication, the PGJ of Tamaulipas informed that due to an anonymous call they had implemented an operation to locate an encampment in which, alleged illicit activities had taken place.
On arrival at the location, in a breach known as El Nacimiento, in Ciudad Mante, the security elements received gunfire, which initiated the confrontation.
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.)
