A pursuit and ensuing firefight involving federal and state police forces in San Andrés Cholula, Puebla, has resulted in one fatality and two arrests. The incident occurred Tuesday afternoon in the San Bernardino Tlaxcalancingo district, a metropolitan area of Puebla city.

Preliminary reports indicate that citizens alerted emergency services about armed individuals traveling in a white Chevrolet Chevy. When law enforcement attempted to stop the vehicle, the occupants fled, triggering a chase that ended when the car crashed. Inside the vehicle, authorities discovered one deceased suspect and another who was wounded.

Federal and state forces, alongside the Mexican Army and National Guard, quickly secured the scene. Authorities are now investigating to identify the alleged members of the criminal organization, which is reportedly active in northern Mexico. One of the detained individuals was suffering from a gunshot wound.
