Hitmen attack elements of the National Guard in Ciudad Obregón

According to the information available so far, two of the alleged criminals were injured, as were two elements of the GN

Elements of the National Guard were shot to death by two men who were on board a vehicle, in the immediate vicinity of Federal Highway 15, in Ciudad Obregón.

According to the information available so far, the elements of the GN signaled the passengers of a recent model van-type vehicle to stop, in the Hogar and Patrimonio neighborhood, north of Ciudad Obregón, at approximately 16 :30 hours.

This caused the hitmen to open fire and a chase broke out until they reached the Esperanza police station, where there was a confrontation with gunfire in front of a convenience store.

Once the reinforcement of the National Guard arrived, they managed to arrest two people, who were identified as Jesus Antonio, alias “El Chore” or “El Diablito”, who presented a wound on his left leg and Gilberto, 24 years old, nicknamed "El Gordo", with a fracture in one of his legs.

Two elements were also injured by the National Guard, a 36 year old with an impact on the left leg; and another of 21 years of age injured in the right knee.

Both the alleged hitmen and the elements were transferred to receive medical attention to different hospitals.

So far, the State Attorney General's Office has not issued a position on the events that occurred this Friday afternoon.
