At least one person was killed and three others were injured in a shootout on Friday morning in the heart of Mexico City's downtown area, local media reported.
The incident was the result of a botched robbery, the city's Attorney General's Office (PGJDF) said in a Twitter post, adding that police "have arrested two men suspected in the robbery of a business."
One of the assailants was killed and another was wounded after "investigating agents" tried to prevent the robbery, the PGJDF said.
The shootout occurred around 10:45 a.m. local time at a busy street in downtown of the capital city.
According to one online regional daily, Tabasco Hoy, the fatal victim was a member of a criminal ring that extorts money from local businesses in exchange for protection, tried to rob the business and were confronted by police.
