Sheriff: Alert about potential violence in Reynosa | violence, alert, mcallen - Now - TheMonitor.com: "McALLEN — Law enforcement officials in Reynosa say an e-mail warning residents in this border city about a big cartel battle was written by 'hateful people' who fabricated the rumor.

At least one e-mail began circulating as recently as Wednesday evening indicating that the Gulf Cartel would attack members of the Zetas, the Gulf Cartel's former criminal mercenary army.

The e-mail warns that 'the biggest shootout in Reynosa's history' was slated for either Thursday or Sunday. Rumors and confusion have fueled panic in the city, where some businesses have closed for the day and at least two schools have been temporarily shut down as a precaution.

According to officials with the city's Department of Education, Francisco J. Mugica middle school and Ignancio Ramirez elementary school are both closed for the day. Both campuses are located in the RibereƱa subdivision."
