At one point, the suspected drug traffickers shot at one another as their sport utility vehicles sped down a busy six-lane boulevard.
All of the dead are believed to be drug traffickers, possibly rival members of the same cartel. Eight suspects and one federal police officer were injured.
Police have recovered 21 vehicles, many with bullet holes or American license plates, and 54 guns.
Police say the first shootout claimed seven victims. Three subsequent gunbattles - one outside a hospital - claimed five more. The body of a man police believe to be the 13th victim turned up at a city hospital.

See all 52 CommentsMexicans. Hey, wait a minute. My grandmother
couldn''t buy cocaine anymore. Jheish!
You can understand why it is important to Bush that the borders be open...that Border Patrolmen be imprisoned for daring to fire on drug smugglers after they are attacked.
There is more violence along the border than on the West Bank.
no, theres no Jews firing rockets their direction....

I suspect it''s drug gangs with more bullets and guns than brains, and they are ordering these killings as initiations to keep their new members'' mouths shut.

We have one but liberal cry babies wont allow it. It''s called killing them on sight no questions asked and sending back to Mexico in body bags!

Hey I am a liberal and you have my permission to shoot them all you like and trust me, I won''t cry.
You might have a look at the Clinton Bush controlled cocaine import agency (CIA) and start there. Two of their planes went down in mexico in the last six months alone and not a peep from the zionist controlled propaganda media. Pathetic.
That would be great, but the drug-addled libs in these forums would be kinda upset, I guess.

What a '' Amoeba brained Moron Con "Mikee00000t'' Is !
Yes just what we need legalized drugs in the U.S. YOU THINK WE DON''T HAV ENOUGH PROBLEMS ALREADY ? I think it is great when the drug dealers kill each other as long as innocent people are not injured or killed. Setup a zone where the drug cartels can meet and kill each other without interference. The man in the picture was carrying an illegal fully automatic shotgun with a 100 round magazine. You think i give a rats *** that he died. I think we should have the death penalty for drug dealers like most other coutries do.
Apparntly you haven'' been to Baghdad lately.
No the wild west was safer, they only had six shooters and rifles, no automatic weapons.

I vote that you and hungry get to pay for it!!
To qualify as a liberal all you have to do is disagree with a redneck and his six pack of Olympia.
What is your definition of a rednck ?
Have you ever been to another country ? What does using drugs in the U.S. have to do with shootings in te rest of the world ?
(1) Make ALL these drugs, legal. Produce them in government-regulated companies, and sell them for the cost of production, plus 10%.
(2) Sell them to anyone over the age of majority, with the proviso they must consume them on the premises of the government store that sells the stuff.
(3) Stiff penalties to anyone who sells these drugs to anyone under the age of majority. Like 15 years in jail.
(4) Make drug education mandatory in schools, perhaps complete with visits to drug rehab places so kids can see what the druggies look like.
(5) Fund lots of rehab places where any addict can go to get free treatment to break the habit.
There are several problems with the current system.
(a) The damage to the personality of the drug-taking segment. But we don''t have entire police departments trying to stop people from jumping off tall buildings. It is assumed once you are an adult, you KNOW that will hurt or kill you. Why do we try to stop people from taking drugs that will do the same ? If that person is stupid enough to take them, well too bad.
(b) The crimes committed by people who need money to buy illegal drugs, which affect people who have no interest or connection with illegal drugs.
(c) The enormous amounts of money the drug makers & sellers get for illegal drugs. In some cases this is enough to distort the entire government of a nation.
Once the drugs are cheap and readily available, the crimes will drop to almost nothing, the government distortion will stop, and we can focus on preventing young people from starting to take these drugs, and helping those who want to quit. Problem solved.
I realize this was gang related but The City offers Nothing of value in the first place i know i have been there done that.
Next trip for me is the Caymans LOL
