Mayor assassinated in Mexico massacre

Gunmen have shot dead the mayor of a small town in western Mexico, and at least 17 others, reports BBC.

Mexican police said gunmen stormed the San Miguel Totolapan town hall at 14:00 (19:00 GMT) on Wednesday. Photos online show it riddled with bullet holes.

The attack has been blamed on the Los Tequileros criminal gang, which is linked to a powerful drug cartel.

Mayor Conrado Mendoza Almeda's left-wing PRD party condemned his "cowardly" assassination and demanded justice.

Police officers and council workers were also killed in the massacre, with graphic images of bloodied bodies lying on the ground circulating on social media.

Mendoza Almeda's father, former mayor Juan Mendoza Acosta, was also killed - in his home - before the attack moved to the town hall.
