Gunshots were fired Thursday near the US Consulate in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey, prompting officials to beef up security at the building.
No one was injured and it wasn't clear if the gunshots were directed at the consulate. US Ambassador Tony Garza described them as "fired in the vicinity."
The report of gunshots came just five days after two men opened fire on the consulate and threw a grenade that failed to explode. No one was hurt in the late night attack, which occurred when the consulate was closed.
Garza said he was suspending all visa services Thursday while officials assess the consulate's security situation.
