Assailants gunned down at least 13 local police officers in southern Mexico's Guerrero state on Monday, a state government source told XQ, in the latest brazen attack in a region where gangs have been vying for control over drug trading.
Among the dead is the local security chief for the town of Coyuca de Benitez, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The town is located to the west of the popular beach resort of Acapulco.
