Another public official was killed in Mexico this week as Martha Laura Mendoza Mendoza, the mayor of Tepalcatepec, Michoacán, was shot along with her husband and son in broad daylight near the town center.
The Michoacán Attorney General's Office said the attack occurred around 11 a.m. Tuesday. Mendoza's husband, Ulises S., was also killed, and Mexican media reported that one of their sons sustained serious injuries.
