About 60 gunmen launched an attack on a ranch in Mexico’s southern Guerrero state yesterday, killing nine people on the property of the head of the Guerrero Cattlemen’s Association and leaving another six wounded, authorities said, the second such incident in two days. Property owner Rogaciano Alba Alvarez was not among those killed.
Hit men arrived at his ranch in six pickup trucks and opened fire with AK-47s, killing the ranch workers.
The violence came just 24 hours after Mr. Alba narrowly escaped an attack by another hit squad Saturday. Seven people were killed in that incident and eight wounded.
