TIJUANA, Mexico — The Mexican army says soldiers rescued eight kidnapping victims who were being held at a ranch near the northern border city of Tijuana.
An army statement says the eight were freed after a shootout that left one kidnapper dead. It says the raid on the ranch came after an escaped captive told authorities that more people were being held on the property.
The region near the California border has been plagued by drug-related violence and kidnappings.
