MEXICO CITY (AP) Mexican security forces fought an hour-long gun gunbattle Saturday with suspected cartel gunmen in Villa Union, a town in Coahuila state about an hours drive southwest of Eagle Pass, Texas, leaving at least 14 people dead, officials said.
Coahuila state Gov. Miguel Angel Riquelme told local media four of the dead were police officers killed in the initial confrontation, and that several municipal workers were missing.
He said the armed group stormed the town of 3,000 residents in a convoy of trucks, attacking local government offices and prompting state and federal forces to intervene. Ten alleged members of the Cartel of the Northeast were killed in the response.

There is plenty of resistance to securing the border and enforcing the law from people wearing R jerseys, too.
Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio are still working on that final amnesty to turn the USA into North Mexico.
In all the Europe including Russia and Turkey they only kill half that many.
But India for example kills twice as many as Mexico.
There seems to be a disconnect between the event and what is displays about the marauders capabilities and the last line from the state government.

Videos of the shootout posted on social media showed burned out vehicles and the facade of Villa Unions municipal office riddled with bullets. Rapid gunfire could be heard in videos along with frantic people telling loved ones to stay indoors. A damaged black pickup truck with the C.D.N. of the Cartel del Noreste, or Cartel of the Northeast, written in white on its door is seen on the street.
Security forces will remain in the town for several days to restore a sense of calm, the governor said.
These groups wont be allowed to enter state territory, the government of Coahuila said in a statement.
