“Gunmen opened fire on cattle ranchers, killing at least 11 in two weekend attacks in Mexico’s southern Guerrero state, police said Sunday.

Attackers traveling in 10 sport utility vehicles sprayed bullets at a ranch in the town of Petatlan before dawn on Sunday, killing five and wounding five others, local police chief Miguel Donatelo said.

The property is owned by Rogaciano Alba, president of Guerrero’s cattle ranchers’ union and a former mayor of Petatlan, which sits 40 miles (60 kilometers) east of the Pacific resort town of Zihuatanejo.”*
