Home attack sparks violent gunbattle in Nuevo Laredo
Associated Press
NUEVO LAREDO, MEXICO - A group of armed men arriving in several vehicles used machine guns, grenades and even a rocket launcher to attack a home in this violent Mexican border city Thursday night, authorities said.
People inside the house are believed to have returned fire with weapons of their own, triggering a massive shootout.
A statement released by police said no one was injured and that no arrests had been made. It provided no further details, and authorities were unwilling to comment on why the house had been targeted. Neighbors claimed it was a safe house used by drug smugglers, however.
Fire from what witnesses said was a rocket launcher caused part of the home to collapse and the walls left standing were marked with hundreds of bullet holes. A vehicle had been driven into the door of the adjacent garage.
The battle left a residential street resembling a war zone. TV images showed grenades lying near the scene, and soldiers who moved in to recover them said they had been lobbed at the home and exploded.
Three massive shell casings believed to be from a rocket launcher were also found, according to investigators who asked for their names not to appear in print.
A woman who heard the shootout but asked not to be identified said it began when four sport utility vehicles carrying an unknown number of gunmen arrived outside the home.
The attack came just two days after hundreds of city police officers began patrolling again, six weeks after they were pulled off the streets for background checks and drug testing.
Now...how the fuck did all that shit go on WITH NO ONE BEING INJURED???
Hadda be Hannibal, B.A., Face, and Murdock...
