Sources close to The Brownsville Herald have confirmed that Heriberto "El Lazca" Lazcano Lazcano, the leader of the Zetas, was killed today in Matamoros after a gruesome firefight with the Gulf Cartel.

Wondering if it was via a ‘gunwalker’ gun.
The Old West was a walk in the park compared to mexico these days.
Shoot outs daily, Thousands killed.
Billy the kid was a piker.
Correction: fast and furious gun.
Gunrunner was legit. Fast and furious let them go and that was under Obama.
According to a local history I read Virginia City Nevada, a “Wild mining town”, only had TWO gunfights in it’s heyday.
Fist fights were common, but rarely fatal.
Bodie CA had a reputation as the worst town in the west, less than twenty gunfights!
Compared to today in many areas, the “Wild West” was absolutely boring.
Hollywood has skewed reality, today is far more violent than the days when anyone who wanted could and did go armed any time they felt like it.
‘The’ leader? Like there is only one?
That’s quite true. Apparently, the Hollywood meme of two men facing each other in the street, in a fastdraw duel... never actually happened. There supposedly is not one single case of that ever happening for real.
So what good did all his ill-gotten money do him? He now gets eternity in hell.
This guy actually bought several African lions, which he kept barely fed, to feed his enemies to-—— lovely person. I don’t remember how many remains the Federales found on his compound several years ago, it was quite grissly.
Now that is what I call a safe assumption!
The Truth so obvious to some escapes the many....
Think he has any regrets? Maybe he should have listened to his pious aunt or grandmother- we can only guess.
Lazarus and the rich man comes to mind.
From the most Southern Post of Free Republic, Mexican news sources skim over this lightly, giving it little coverage, with some close to the event suggesting that he was NOT killed.
Shades of Bin Laden and Sadam Hussein. If not dead- he would need to go deep underground. He may hide from men but never from God.
Was there even a question about that?
Except that most of the towns had strict gun control. Supposed to check your guns when you rode in.
Attempts to enforce these laws led to Gunfight at OK Corral and many of the other famous shootouts of the Old West.
One possibility.

Interesting website. Dozens of famous gunfights related.
“So what good did all his ill-gotten money do him? He now gets eternity in hell.”
He’ll get to know both Osama bin Laden and Ted Kennedy!
The Hickok-Tutt gunfight was at 75 yards? I’m surprised anyone was hit.
If so, then Obama can take all the credit for it like he did when the Seals killed Osama.
