MEXICO CITY (AP) — Gunmen in northern Mexico attacked a police
patrol and killed four officers in a shooting that also left
four people wounded, authorities said Tuesday.
The attack took place Monday in the north-central state of
Guanajuato, which has Mexico’s highest number of homicide s. It
has long been the scene of bloody turf battles between rival
cartels, and the state has long been among the most deadly for
police in Mexico.
State prosecutors said Tuesday the attack occurred in the town
of Uriangato, near the border with the neighboring state of
Michoacan. Those killed in the attack included one female
officer.
The industrial and agricultural state of Guanajuato has for
years been the scene of a bloody turf battle between the Jalisco
New Generation Cartel and a local gang, the Santa Rosa de Lima
Cartel.
