Local news media and officials in the Mexican government reported that the violence was the result of an ambush, organized by a group aligned with the Beltrán-Leyva Cartel to stop a convoy of over 50 vehicles of the Sinaloa Cartel from entering Sáric. The Beltrán-Leyva group took up positions on a hill along the road outside of Sáric, and as the convoy approached, laid down a devastating barrage of fire into the convoy below. Shortly after the fighting ended, Mexican police and military arrived to find the bodies of 21 dead and several bullet-strewn vehicles, mostly SUVs. Nine men were taken into police custody, six of whom received wounds in the shootout.29 Gunmen Dead In Shootout 12 Miles From The Arizona Border http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2010/07/29-gunmen-dead-in-shootout-12-miles.html 2010-07-02 BordrlandBeat 2016-03-12 See also Mexico Mexican drug war References Category:Battles of the Mexican drug war Category:Sinaloa Cartel Category:Beltrán-Leyva Cartel Category:2010 in Mexico Category:2010 conflicts Category:Organized crime conflicts in Mexico Category:July 2010 in Mexico Category:Shootouts
