Six people were stabbed or battered to death during a prison gang fight Saturday in Ciudad Juarez, across the U.S. border from El Paso, Texas, a Mexican newspaper reported. The riot broke out between the two gangs as relatives of the prisoners lined up at the municipal penitentiary for visits, prison director Juan Federico Fernandez said, according to the Mexican newspaper Reforma. Prison officials could not be immediately reached. Hundreds of police stormed the penitentiary and quelled the riot, Fernandez said. The prisoners died from knife and bludgeon wounds, he said. Nine prisoners and three police officers were injured, some severely. |
