Immediately, the military tried to repel the attack while accelerating their units to avoid being hit by bullets, however, bullets hit the elements causing the death of Hermenegildo “N”, SEDENA corporal.
Soldier Hermenegildo “N” sadly lost his life at the site of the ambush, while two lieutenants were injured and were transferred to a military medical facility for treatment.
