Two Mexican soldiers were killed or injured at 3PM on Saturday on the international bridge in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico.

Nuevo Progreso is typically seen as a safe border town compared to others such as Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez. Many tourists were shaken up by the shooting in Nuevo Progreso Mexico on Saturday. Some visitors mistook the gunshots for firecrackers but found out the sobering truth when they saw people with blood on their clothes in the streets.

A truck with Texas license plates is the center of the investigation as the only occupant of the truck has been killed. There is no word yet on whether the occupant is an American citizen or Mexican citizen. The Nuevo Progreso shooting comes about after recent Mexican drug cartel violence have scared residents of many Mexican border towns.
