Troops wage 5-hour gunbattle with Tijuana kidnap-ring suspects
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
One person died inside a house, where soldiers found an arsenal that included rifles, shotguns, handguns and ammunition and bulletproof vests, ski masks and uniforms with the insignia of various Mexican police agencies. They also found a blue jacket labeled “ICE,” the acronym for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The shooting started when the suspects, barricaded inside the house, began shooting at a group of soldiers patrolling the area, army Col. Sergio Lopez said in a statement Monday evening.
