On January 13, 1985, Saltillo was the location of a car chase and shootout between FBI agents, Texas Rangers, and a group of kidnappers. Two of the six kidnappers were wounded in the gunfight, and their hostage, a thirteen-year-old girl, was rescued unharmed. The case was later featured in an episode of The FBI Files.[citation needed]
