Well I just got a call about an hour or two ago and one of our sales reps is down at a customers that is right across the street from that prison and they have had another shootout today. She put the phone on speaker and I could hear the gunshots in the background.
They had all the parking lots closed off and they were detained there for at least an hour. I spoke to her again about 30 min ago and they are on their way back, safe but a little shaken up to be sure. I forwarded this to her on Tuesday and she knew exactly where it had happened.

TIJUANA – Authorities regained control of the state penitentiary and surrounding blocks Wednesday afternoon, three hours after rioting broke out again at the facility for the second time in three days.
Baja California's public safety director, Daniel de la Rosa Anaya, said that several people had been injured in the latest violence, but that there had been no deaths.
Speaking outside the prison, he said that guards had fired rubber bullets and pepper spray to quell the uprising.
Minutes earlier, an official with the Red Cross, Jesus Esquer, had said that at least 11 people, five police officers and six inmates, had been wounded, two by gunfire.
