In Teocaltiche, Jalisco this morning a shooting woke up its inhabitants. The confrontation took place between CJNG assassins and Mexican Army troops. The CJNG members abandoned two monster trucks.

Military personnel and a group of organized crime groups clashed in the municipality of Teocaltiche, in the Altos Norte region. The exchange of gunfire lasted almost half an hour and later there were blockades in Encarnacion de Diaz.

The confrontation occurred around 4:00 am, at the intersection of Benito Juarez and Juan Pablo II in the Juarez neighborhood of Teocaltiche, near a supermarket. At that location, members of the National Defense Secretariat were patrolling when they came across a convoy of alleged members of organized crime.

One of the vehicles was modified, black in color and had handmade armor. For more than 20 minutes the residents heard gunshots, they decided to take shelter in their homes.

After the confrontation, the Mexican Army confirmed that the modified vehicle with homemade armor, which bore the CJNG initials, as well as a .40 caliber grenade and shell casings of different calibers, were secured.
