The attackers, believed to belong to the crime gang called La Línea, launched grenades and Molotov cocktails at the convoy before opening fire with assault rifles.

The officers were returning to their operations base after arresting three armed individuals in San Juanito and turning them over to authorities in the city of Cuauhtémoc, the state Attorney General said.

State and federal security forces responded to the attack with a land and air deployment of police to locate the missing officer and search for the attackers.
