Tijuana: A deadly shootout near the US border with Mexico has left seventeen Mexican drug gang members dead on Saturday.
Rival factions of the Arellano Felix drug cartel in Tijuana on the Mexican border with California were involved in armed clashes early morning, police said.
Fourteen bodies were found lying in pools of blood scattered across a road, along with hundreds of bullet casings, in the city's eastern region.
Two others died from their wounds in a hospital, and another body was found close to the region.
This is the deadliest shootout in the Mexico's narcotics war that has killed around 190 people in this year itself.
