00:00The well-known Mexican resort town of Puerto Vallarta is under siege.
00:04People, including many Americans, are hiding in hotels. The streets are chaos after a military
00:10raid that killed the leader of the brutal Jalisco New Generation cartel. Tourists were warned to
00:15stay indoors after narco gangs went on a rampage through the town. It sounds absolutely terrifying.
00:21One vacationer posted online, quote, we are here at a hotel in the hotel zone,
00:26staying put until we get the all clear. All of the businesses in the area have closed.
00:31After a drug kingpin, Nemesio El Mencho Oseguera Cervantes was killed. Authorities say that the
00:36gang started burning and blocking vehicles in an effort to further hinder military operations.
00:42Now, the ramping up of Mexico's war on cartels comes after pressure from the United States to do just
00:48that. As panic spread throughout the region on Sunday, there were also reports of gunfire at
00:54Guadalajara International Airport. One video posted online purportedly showing passengers
00:59running for shelter. Now, authorities there said that the Mexican National Guard was dispatched
01:04to that airport, but that it is operating normally with no threats to passengers in the terminals.
