Fourteen police dead in Mexico gun ambush

AKIPRESS.COM - Fourteen police officers have been killed and three injured in a shooting in western Mexico.

The police were carrying out a court order in El Aguaje, Michoacán state, when their convoy was ambushed.

A powerful criminal group, the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel, is believed to have carried out the attack, BBC reported.

Authorities said all resources would be put into finding those responsible. The region is a hotspot for violence linked to turf wars between drug cartels.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has been trying to tackle drug crime since he took office last December.
