Reporting and context
El Financiero reported a car bomb outside the Ojocaliente police station hurt 11 people in all and damaged about 40 homes. State aide Rodrigo Reyes said one victim was a local cop; three stayed in care but were stable. Officials said 10 to 15 homes may have frame damage.
The paper reported security chief Arturo Medina said a man was held at a Piedra Gorda site. Medina said early data tied him to the group behind the blast. He went to state prosecutors, who had not set his legal status. The report named no charge.
The headline called it a CJNG car bomb, but the body gave no source or proof for that claim. It named no group in its account of the suspect. State teams planned two-plus weeks of patrols while seeking others. The state planned home checks, cleanup and repair aid. The source gave no final loss count.
