ZAPATA - Witnesses report a major gunbattle across Falcon Lake from Zapata.
Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzales tells CHANNEL 5 NEWS his office began getting phone calls from people on the lake around 5:30 Thursday evening. One boater reports seeing a Mexican military helicopter firing missiles into Old Guerero.
Sheriff Gonzales tells CHANNEL 5 NEWS the Mexican military has been concentrating on the area because it's a stronghold for the Zetas, but they have not confirmed the incident on Thursday.
"This information about the missiles came from a citizen who reported it to me, that between 20 to 24 missiles were fired from a helicopter. It's not confirmed; it's just given to us by a witness." said Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez.
Old Guerrero is regarded as a longtime stronghold for the Zeta Cartel. The town is on the Mexican side of Falcon Lake along the Arroyo Salado.
There were no reports of any Americans being injured in the incident.
The Zapata County Sheriff's Office is now waiting on Mexican officials for details on what exactly happened Thursday in Old Guerrero.
I guess Old Guerrero is not going to be a location on the next episode of International House Hunters.
Shouldn’t that be “Viejo Guerrero?”
May have to cancel those Mexican vacation plans and go somewhere else safer, like Iraq.
Not if they keep calling New York, Nuevo York.
There were no reports of any Americans being injured in the incident.
Not including the American killed while jetskiing on Falcon lake. And the Americans murdered by illegal aliens every day. http://www.rense.com/general76/12am.htm
And Americans killed by drunk driving illegal aliens. And ...
I just want to know where did they get all those high powered guns?
I hear the BATFE has a great program for arming Drug Cartels. Catchy name too! Fast & Furious. They might even offer Zero percent financing!
