At least four people, including two women, were injured Tuesday in a shootout between gunmen and Mexican authorities in a residential neighborhood in Ciudad Acuña.

The Attorney General's Office for the state of Coahuila reported the confrontation began shortly before noon Tuesday when a Dodge Durango carrying civilian gunmen came across a security convoy in downtown Acuña composed of army troops and state police.

Acuña is across the Rio Grande from Del Rio, Texas.

Holder strikes again.

It was probably the Acuna boys and Esteban.

Those damned Acuna boys!!!

You beat me to it. Quentin Tarantino, is that you? I didn’t know you were a Freeper! :)

[sockmonkey]

Wow, Acuna and Piedra Negras have pretty much stayed out of all the violence..

[arderkrag]

Best line: Esteban was a pimp, and a friend of Bill's mother.

(If I were Tarantino, I wouldn't drive a beat-up truck and work at an airport.)

[sockmonkey]

Oops, Piedras Negras

[reefdiver]

The A.G.s guns again?

The only place in Mexico I’ve ever been. Ate at Crosby’s...

I’m guessing the Corona club there is now void of white faces.

Have you ever read about Zapata, Villa, and the Mexican Revolution? Every main leader or character involved, including Zapata and Villa, died a violent death. Both Zapata and Villa had no qualms about killing both prisoners and innocents who just got in the way. In many ways, Villa was nothing but a cold-blooded murdere who loved violence and killing. But he did think Marxism was stupid, so guess he wasn’t all bad. For a good book, if you haven’t read it already, read “ Villa and Zapata: A History of The Mexican Revolution” by Frank McLynn.
