Night of skirmish at Laredo causes martial law guard
Mexican shelling near the river drew Americans to the bank where crowds scattered as warnings of closer explosions spread. Fort McIntosh led a rapid mobilization with a near martial law guard in the danger area. Guards reinforced bridges along the river and the only reported death occurred at that location while machine gun units patrolled the center and trains spurred federals to withdraw. Rumors of American wounded proved false. Colonel Crane announced strict patrols of business and residence districts.
