At least 12 suspected criminals were killed on a highway near Hermosillo in the northern Mexican state of Sonora, a prosecutor's spokesman said Sunday, after reports that members of a drug cartel tried to free the arrested son of one of them.
Seven people managed to escape, and some of them were probably injured, according to a statement from the Sonora State Prosecutor's Office. A spokesman for the prosecutor's office confirmed to Reuters that 12 people were killed.
Two members of the security services were taken to hospital after being injured in the crossfire, but are now in a stable condition, the statement said.
The state prosecutor's office said the group was allegedly trying to rescue the son of Jesus Umberto Limon, a suspected hitman who worked for a faction of the Sinaloa cartel led by the sons of the infamous Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán.
Limon's son, Carlos Umberto, was stopped a few minutes earlier on Saturday on the Camino del Serio, after which the security forces were attacked on the highway, but managed to repel the attack, seizing weapons, six vans and a significant amount of ammunition.
