Apparently the local leader, "El encho," was killed earlier. Most of the fires looked to be vehicles that were used to block streets around and out of town. One clip I saw showed what looked like a black powder explosion * being used to set a small truck on fire.

This could very well be a joint operation between the US and Mexico, but we don't know anything for certain. It's going to take several days to find out.

*teenager from hell, don't ask
