The police found 13 armored vehicles in a handmade way: vans to which they were welded steel plates. The drug gangs frequently use this type of vehicle in Tamaulipas. The federal forces also found six hand grenades, 17 40mm grenades to be fired with rifles and several dozen weapons, including .50.
Among those killed is a man apparently killed at the hands of gunmen after he and his son took refuge in a house fire when both were headed to a school.
Three more people were killed in what appeared to be specific attacks in the town of Padilla, south of both towns.
The city of Reynosa borders McAllen, Texas, and has been the scene of confrontations by the dispute of territories between factions of the Cartel del Golfo.
