Seven of the attackers were also killed in the firefight.
The exchange of gunfire took place just three miles south of the U.S. border and is only the latest of a string of violent incidents in the area. Last month, the U.S. Consulate issued advisories for Americans to shelter in place due to the sustained level of danger.
