Matamoros Shootout (Video)

Shootout lasted several hours

MATAMOROS, Mexico - Four people were wounded during a shootout between suspected drug cartel members and the Mexican Military on Thursday.

Officials say the shootout lasted several hours, one soldier and four suspected cartel members were wounded.

Many Americans heading out of Matamoros had no idea what had happened.

"The truth is I don't know more, just the one street is all closed," says Daniel Quintanal.

Mexican media is reporting that four suspected cartel members were arrested as they tried to cross the river into America. The U.S. Border Patrol was unable to confirm the report.

There’s a little hamburger joint in Matamoros where the owner used an old Whataburger sign upside down and named the place “Mucho Burger.”

I’m not even about to eat there, but I’ve eaten at a fancy place called Garcia’s. Pretty good grub there.
