Relatives of inmates gathered outside of a Mexican state prison in Ciudad Juarez on Sunday, after 10 guards and 4 inmates were killed in a jailbreak attempt earlier that morning.

According to reports, gunmen in bulletproof vehicles arrived around 7 am local time (0:00 GMT) at El Centro Estatal de Reinsercion Social (Cereso) No. 3 state prison and started shooting. As a result, 24 prisoners escaped the facility.

Later on Sunday, Mexican staff and state police finally took back control of the prison.
