Paisanos run for cover as bullets fly between Mexican soldiers and another group of men.
It happened about a mile from Bridge Number Two Sunday night.
In the shooting one unidentified man was killed, another two were seriously injured.
Mexican media is reporting that those shot were paisanos but the vehicle they were riding in clearly had Mexican plates with tinted windows and bulletproof siding.
Many locals in Nuevo Laredo have been upset by the military's presence.
They say the soldiers’ pursuit of drug traffickers has hurt business and tourism.
