JUAREZ--- Two men were arrested in Juarez, moments after they stormed a hospital looking to kill rival gang members.

One of the accused may be from El Paso.

It all happened Saturday morning in Southeast Juarez.
We're told one of the suspects drove to the hospital in a Grey Mustang with Texas plates.

They went into the emergency room looking for their rivals, but did not find them.

The army showed up and arrested the two and found two others hiding in a bathroom.
Another two were found dead outside the hospital.

Also Saturday, soldiers and Juarez police officers were involved in a shootout with a 19-year-old.
The teen was killed early in the morning. Another man he was with was arrested.

Emergency crews are being threatened, making the job of saving lives that much more difficult in the violence-ravaged city.

They are being told not to respond to calls where people are shot, or they will face consequences.

More than 2,000 people have been killed in Juarez since the beginning of the year.
