"Four colonias of the Chapala county seat lived through a night of panic in the area near the bull ring (and others) as they listened to frightening gun battles. The Red Cross was waiting, but they were not informed as to whether there were dead or wounded. Francisco Torres reports, "We had several reports of gun battles, but no reports of injured or dead. Just the gun battles." Local police refused to give any information. "Right now we don't have reports of anyone hurt or killed. Nothing." Nevertheless, in various neighborhoods of Colinas de Chapala, the streets were cordoned off by the municipal authorities. Municipal police were out in patrol cars and on foot. Many were seen walking in the streets with pistols in their hands. On the corner of (La Paz and Y streets), they found an unexploded hand grenade. Another one, also undetonated, was found on Calle La Paz where it crosses with Pípila. The police also found bullet holes on various buildings, which were then protected by the Procuraduría. One of the buildings that was attacked may have been the so-called "safe houses". It seems to have been a confrontation between conflicting gangs of organized crime. In the wee hours of the morning, police were still searching for possible wounded or dead from the gun battles, these frightening events of early Wednesday."
