Cartel members were roaming the streets armed with weapons while civilians ran for cover. 

 (via US News and World Reports): 

“State police confirmed to Reuters that several prisoners escaped from a prison during the chaos, which lasted for hours. Video footage showed a group of at least 20 people running in the streets. It was not immediately clear how many had escaped. Vehicles and a petrol station were set on fire while cartel gunmen roamed the city in trucks, at least one of which was armed with a mounted machine gun, videos posted on social media showed. Civilians hid in the aisles of a supermarket, while other ran for cover in leafy suburban streets.”

Several videos were posted on Twitter showing the violence in the city of Culiacan.
