The rumor turned out to be false, and the Aeromexico travelers boarded the plane.<\/p>\n<p>Just as the commercial flight was about to take off,  two large military planes landed with troops along with three or four military helicopters, and marines and soldiers began deploying along the perimeter of the runway.<\/p>\n<p>Tellez took out his cellphone, recording several videos that show large air force transport aircraft, smaller, fighter-like attack aircraft and military trucks on the tarmac. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"911\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/ovidio-guzma\u0301n-lo\u0301pez-first-photo-of-arrest.jpg?w=911\" alt=\"Ovidio Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez, after his arrest by the Mexican army.\" class=\"wp-image-25267847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/ovidio-guzma\u0301n-lo\u0301pez-first-photo-of-arrest.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1822 1822w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/ovidio-guzma\u0301n-lo\u0301pez-first-photo-of-arrest.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1367 1366w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/ovidio-guzma\u0301n-lo\u0301pez-first-photo-of-arrest.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=911 911w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/ovidio-guzma\u0301n-lo\u0301pez-first-photo-of-arrest.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=456 455w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/ovidio-guzma\u0301n-lo\u0301pez-first-photo-of-arrest.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 911px) 100vw, 911px\"\/><figcaption>Ovidio Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez, after his arrest by the Mexican army.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/mexico-plane-passengers-shot-el-chapo-son-arrest-07.jpg?w=790\" alt=\"Ovidio Guzman, the son of drug lord 'El Chapo,' has been arrested on suspicion of drug-related charges in an operation carried out by Mexico City federal authorities.\" class=\"wp-image-25266783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/mexico-plane-passengers-shot-el-chapo-son-arrest-07.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1580 1580w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/mexico-plane-passengers-shot-el-chapo-son-arrest-07.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1185 1185w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/mexico-plane-passengers-shot-el-chapo-son-arrest-07.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=790 790w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/mexico-plane-passengers-shot-el-chapo-son-arrest-07.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=395 395w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/mexico-plane-passengers-shot-el-chapo-son-arrest-07.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\"\/><figcaption>Guzm\u00e1n-L\u00f3pez is allegedly a senior member of the Sinaloa drug cartel.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">FBI\/ZUMA Press Wire<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When Flight 165 was finally preparing to accelerate, Tellez heard gunshots in the distance. Within 15 seconds the sound was suddenly more intense and much closer, and passengers threw themselves to the floor, he said.<\/p>\n<p>He did not know the plane had been hit by gunfire until a flight attendant told them the engine had been struck, causing a leak. No one was injured, but the plane returned to the terminal.<\/p>\n<p>The crew directed\u00a0passengers to get off the plane, moving them to a windowless waiting room in the airport.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Mexico\u2019s Defense Secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval described a battle in Culiacan that resembled a war: cartel gunmen opened fire on troops with .50 caliber machine guns, and the army responded by calling in Blackhawk helicopter gunships to attack a convoy of 25 cartel vehicles, including truck-mounted cartel gun platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The cartel then opened fire on the military aircraft, forcing two of them down with \u201ca significant number of impacts\u201d in each of the two aircraft, Sandoval said.<\/p>\n<p>The gang then sent hordes of gunmen to attack fixed-wing aircraft, both military and civilian, at the city\u2019s airport to prevent authorities from flying Guzman out of the city.<\/p>\n<p>But Sandoval said that, anticipating the resistance, authorities had immediately loaded the cartel kingpin onto a military helicopter to fly him directly back to Mexico City.<\/p>\n<p>The 32-year-old accused trafficker was then taken by helicopter to a maximum-security prison near Toluca.<\/p>\n<p>The US State Department previously promised a $5 million reward for information on Guzm\u00e1n-L\u00f3pez\u2019s whereabouts. He was suspected of running 11 methamphetamine labs producing 5,000 pounds of the deadly drug each month. <\/p>\n<p>His father is serving a life sentence at a Colorado federal prison after being convicted of criminal enterprise and cocaine distribution in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><em>With Post wires<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
