Seven inmates armed with guns shot their way out of a prison outside Mexico City last Sunday, climbing aboard waiting cars and leaving at least a dozen people injured, the state prison director said. Guillermo Andrade said that the inmates staged their escape as they prepared to meet with their lawyer during visiting hours, which occur every Sunday. All were being held on organized crime and kidnapping charges. Andrade said officials were investigating how the men smuggled the guns into the prison. Their lawyer has been detained for questioning. Eight of the injured were civilians visiting other inmates, and the other four were security officers. None of the injuries were serious, officials said. Hundreds of police were sent to the prison to prevent further escapes by the 3,000 inmates still held there, and the building was quickly brought under control. Six inmates escaped from the same prison about six months ago, and only three have been recaptured. |
