1:30Now PlayingAn intense gunfight with heavy weapons raged in the Mexican city of Culiac?n on Thursday, after security forces located one of Joaqufn "El Chapo" Guzm?n's sons who is wanted in the US on drug trafficking charges.
Mexican Security Secretary Alfonso Durazo said 30 members of the National Guard and army were patrolling in the capital of Mexico's Sinaloa state when they were fired on from a house.
They repelled the attack and found Ovidio Guzm?n L=pez inside the house.
Durazo said the house was then surrounded by heavily armed gunmen who had "a greater force" and authorities decided to suspend the operation.
He did not say if Ovidio Guzm?n was arrested or went free after being located.
Ovidio is not one of the jailed Mexican drug lord's best-known sons - Iv?n Archivaldo and Jess Alfredo Guzm?n who are known as "los Chapitos," or "the little Chapos."
They are believed to be currently running their father's Sinaloa Cartel together with Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.
Ovidio Guzm?n was indicted by a grand jury in Washington, along with a fourth brother, in 2018 for the alleged trafficking of cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.
Following Thursday's localisation of Ovidio, local media reported that armed civilians in trucks roared through Culiac?n's centre shooting what appeared to be .50-caliber sniper rifles and machine guns.
