A shootout that began in a shopping center and that spilled into the highway caused the death of seven drug cartel gunmen and one federal police officer. Two kidnapped victims were also freed during the shootout. The police acted on a report of a kidnapping in the city of Torreon where they met gunfire. The main part of the shootout took place on the highway. According to the authorities members of the Zetas drug gang were involved. They have recently spread from drug trafficking to kidnapping and extortion. This particular drug gang has been involved in some of the bloodiest confrontations in the last three years.

This is another terrible incident that is occuring in Mexico. I think it is terrible how there is so much domestic violence and not enough security. However, my article explained how Japan is going to start helping Mexico train their army and security forces better, which is a turn in the right direction.
