MONTERREY, NUEVO LEÓN
Tuesday afternoon, a group of gunmen came to the front gate of the Topo Chico prison and after taking control of guards, entered the facility. They opened fire, and on locating an inmate due to testify, executed him. Prison guards returned fire, and killed one of the gunmen. Another gunman was caught, and seven guards were detained for investigation. A subsequent report says that 18 people have been arrested, 5 state police officers and 13 prison guards. And yet another update late Thurs. afternoon says that there is a lot of tension inside the prison. Relatives of the prisoners are demanding the presence of the Army, saying the police are corrupt and part of the criminal group that attacked. (Note the report does not specifically include the prison guards as police, but in Spanish, the word police is often used for anyone in a position of authority to detain. Thus it could include attorney general investigators, or others in similar positions.)
