At least six masked, heavily armed men raided the police station in the town of Jerecuaro, in the state of Guanajuato, killing two police officers and a secretary. They gunned down two more police officers on a nearby highway, state authorities said.
Police found one of the gunmen dead in one of three abandoned, bullet-riddled vehicles.
