TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) - The gunmen who stormed a hospital and battled police in this border city were hit men for the city's Arellano Felix drug cartel, authorities said Thursday.
Two of the four were taken into custody after gunbattles Wednesday in which three people died, according to Patricio Patino, assistant federal secretary of public safety. He did not say what happened to the other two.
Officials earlier reported that six to eight men had attacked the hospital to free a fellow criminal who had been arrested and was undergoing medical treatment.
