MEXICO CITY (AP) -- A Mexican League baseball game was suspended because of gunfire around the stadium, an official in the mayor's office of Mexican border city Reynosa has confirmed.

There were no reports of injuries, but the game between the Sultanes of Monterrey and the Broncos of Reynosa was suspended in the bottom of the sixth inning Sunday, league spokesman Gabriel Medina told The Associated Press.

Medina said this type of suspension was unprecedented.

The game will be completed Friday.

The mayor's office said it was unclear if the gunfire was linked to drug-related violence along the border between the United States and Mexico. Reynosa is located across the border from McAllen, Texas.
