It was a violent afternoon on December 14th in Piedras Negras, Coahuila. When it was all over five civilians and four soldiers were killed, with three other militia members seriously injured.
Municipal,
state and
federal access to the scene of the violence remained cordoned off by
military troops for
over an hour. It was not until after 3:30 p.m. that the Attorney
General's Office was given access to the
dead.
Four
of the five civilian deaths occurred at the Perez Trevino bypass. The fifth
died in a truck on Bay Street in Las
Palmas II Escondida.
Unofficial
reports stated that four soldiers were killed, and three more injured, when their
Chevrolet truck overturned.
Due to the
severity of the injuries sustained by the three soldiers, at 4 p.m. a Mexican
Army Bell 212 helicopter arrived in Piedras Negras in order to transfer
them to a military hospital in Nuevo León.
