The state prosecutor said at least 13 people were injured. Inside the Jail, some rioters set fire to various items and clashed with prison guards.

The state prosecutor's office said that Mexican troops and state police later regained control of the jail on Sunday.

The office said at least four people were detained, without saying whether they were prisoners or armed attackers.

The prosecutor said it was not yet clear who had attacked, two drivers were also killed as a result of another armed attack in the city, but whether there was any mutual connection between the three attacks.
