Bloody battle: A pool of blood in a room inside the house where five alleged gang members were killed in the military operation
Firefight: One marine was wounded by gunfire almost immediately and remained outside the interior front door while his comrades slowly advanced inside
Seemingly ordinary: Clothes and shoes are seen hanging on a clothes line on a terrace of the safe house, which has four bedrooms and five bathrooms

Disorder: Clothing and food, including a wheel of cheese, were scattered when reporters visited the house on Monday
Big fan: Items found at the Los Mochis property included DVDs of 'La Reina Del Sur,' a fictional series about a female drug boss starring Kate del Castillo
Moments later the marines attempt to advance upstairs while the superior orders others advancing from room to room: 'Search the room well.'
One of the criminals is taken alive by several well-armed marines before having his hands tied behind his back as he kneels on the floor.
Another is captured in a ground-floor bedroom and told to lie face face-down on the floor before the marines move on.
They open the door to a first-floor bathroom to find a woman cowered on the ground under the sink.
She responds in a whimper from the floor as soldiers demand to know how many men are upstairs: 'Six, sir'.
A man appears to be lying dead on the bed in the neighboring room in front of a TV that is still on.
At the end of the 15-minute-long footage the man in charge of the bloody operation can be heard telling base over a radio: 'We have one man dead and two women and two men alive. 'We are continuing to check the property.'
The astonishing scenes were filmed on Friday morning during a three-hour operation which began at 4am local time and ended with Guzman's capture and return to prison following his jail escape in July. El Chapo doesn't appear in the astonishing footage.
Escorted: Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman is made to face the press as he's escorted to a helicopter in handcuffs by soldiers and marines at a federal hangar in Mexico City on Friday
Gunfire: Bullet holes are seen on a the white concrete wall in a safe house at Jiquilpan Boulevard in Los Mochis, in Sinaloa state, Mexico
Operation Black Swan: A grab from the recording of the raid that eventually led to the recapture of notorious cartel boss El Chapo
Storming the safe house: The footage was obtained from cameras worn by Mexican marines when they stormed the drug lord's hideout
On Monday, attorney general Arely Gomez told local radio that people in the house had ordered food for 13 people the night before the raid.
One gunman was killed in the main room just inside a front door riddled with bullet holes. The marines secured the downstairs rooms first.
As they prepared to go upstairs a marine saw a man at the top of the stairs preparing to fire a rocket-propelled grenade. The marine hit the weapon with a couple shots causing the gunman to toss it, the marine guide said in the Televisa interview.
The wall above the stairs was particularly damaged by gunfire as gunmen tried to keep the marines from advancing. Upstairs the marines found two women in a bathroom and two men in a room with a large television.
On a roof patio marines found tossed weapons and a ladder leading to a higher roof. It took about 15 minutes to secure the house. Then the marines followed the attackers across rooftops. Four more gunmen were killed in this pursuit.
There had been no sighting of Guzman and knowing his predilection for tunnels, the marines began looking for an opening.
