Gunmen Toss 5 Human Heads Onto Bar Floor
From Times Wire Reports
Armed men barged into a bar in the central Mexican state of Michoacan, fired into the air and tossed five human heads onto the dance floor, said Magdalena Guzman, a spokeswoman for the state prosecutor’s office.
The heavily armed men ordered patrons to the barroom floor before tossing the heads.
Investigators believe the beheadings are linked to organized crime, possibly drug smugglers, Guzman said. No arrests had been made.
Police were still trying to identify the victims, she said.
