 The fire fight occurred in a sparsely populated area about 12 miles&nbsp;&nbsp; (20 kilometers) from the Arizona border, near the city of Nogales, that&nbsp;&nbsp; is considered a prime corridor for immigrant and drug smuggling.
 The Sonora state Attorney General’s Office said in a statement that&nbsp;&nbsp; nine people were captured by police at the scene of the shootings, six&nbsp;&nbsp; of whom had been wounded in the confrontation. Eight vehicles and seven&nbsp;&nbsp; weapons were also seized.
 All of the victims were believed to be members of the gangs.
