Eight community police officers were killed and eight more were wounded in an ambush in the Mexican state of Guerrero, a region disputed by cartels.
The incident took place in Ayutla, some 60 miles from Acapulco, when officers who were on patrol came under fire last Saturday. Of those wounded, five remained hospitalized on Monday, according to Border Report. It added that the region is being disputed by more than a dozen gangs affiliated to different cartels, including Jalisco Nueva Generacion, La Familia Michoacana, Sinaloa and Beltran Leyva.
