Seven people were killed in a shootout between Mexico's army and suspected drug cartel gunmen in the northern border city of Nuevo Laredo on Wednesday.
State police said there had been"risk situations" — usually a reference to gunfire — at several points in the city, but that the outbreaks had been controlled.
In late November, gunfire in Nuevo Laredo forced the cancellation of classes and an advisory from the U.S. Consulate to shelter in place. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the shootings in November came in response to the arrest of a cartel leader, but did not elaborate. The city has long been dominated by the Northeast cartel, an offshoot of the old Zetas gang.U.S. authorized the departure
of families and some personnel at the consulate after drug cartel gunmen fired at the consulate building. That gunfire came in retaliation for the arrest of drug gang leader Juan Gerardo Treviño, also known as"El Huevo." U.S. authorities describe him as a founder and leader of the Northeast cartel. an indictment unsealed against Treviño charges him with 11 counts of drug trafficking conspiracy and other charges that could send him to prison for life. The department called Treviño the"drug trafficker, enforcer, weapons procurer, and plaza leader" of the cartel.
