A shootout at this hospital in Mexico claims two more lives
— victims of the country's bloody drug war.
The hospital is in Ciudad Juarez
— the epicenter of the drug cartel violence convulsing Mexico.
Two gunmen burst into the emergency room looking to finish off two rival gang members wounded in an earlier shootout.
Witnessess said the pair fired their weapons as they roamed the corridors, looking for their targets.
Patients and staff fled the building in terror.
Police rushed to the scene, shooting dead two gunmen outside the hospital and arresting several others inside.
The men being hunted
— two brothers
— were later found hiding in a bathroom. They've also been arrested.
The carnage showing, yet again, that nowhere is safe from the warring drug gangs in Ciudad Juarez, where more than 3,000 people have been murdered in less than two years.
