Twenty-three inmates escaped and one guard was killed after armed men stormed a prison in the Mexican resort town of Puerto Vallarta, which has been under siege by cartel members since drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, known as “El Mencho,” was killed in a military operation.
The attackers opened fire on the facility and busted in the Centro Integral de Justicia Regional on Sunday by crashing a vehicle through the gate, Mexican officials confirmed.
