Mexican authorities had a large-scale shootout on the outskirts of Mexico City, where members of the Sinaloa Cartel were holding kidnapping victims.
The clash took place this week along the Mexico City-Cuernavaca highway in the Tlalpan borough, where Gunmen began shooting at police vehicles patrolling the area. The officers sought cover, tried to fight back, and called for backup. Hundreds of officers responded to the scene and were able to track down the instigators to a stash house.
After the shootout, authorities set out a large-scale manhunt and arrested 12 gunmen near the house and two others nearby in a vehicle, Harfuch said, adding that four of his officers were injured. One is in critical condition.
