Government forces? I sure hope not.
“Police managed to wound one of the alleged gunmen and took him into custody...” A state hit team or off duty narco agents were the first thing I thought of when I read the description. But I guess not, also you would think the cops wouldn’t off girlfriends, if they were girlfriends. I guess they might in Brazil.

In Brazil government forces are coming to high crime areas with armor and air support. And they are losing men, armor and aircraft in process.
11 people gunned down are non-news there.
Better off people are living in gated suburban communities and they are coming to work to the rooftops of their office buildings by air.
Some don’t go to the city streets for months.
With all that crime Mexico is a sort of Disneyland comparing to Brazil.
