MEXICO CITY – Suspected drug gang gunmen killed four Mexican policemen who worked as bodyguards for the family of the country's most influential state governor, a local government source said Friday.
The officers, assigned to protect the family of State of Mexico Gov. Enrique Pena, were shot dead as they drove their sports utility vehicle in the Gulf port city of Veracruz where the governor's young children were on vacation.
The drug hitmen, shooting from at least two vehicles, may have mistaken the officers for a rival drug gang, the source in the State of Mexico government said. Cartel members in Mexico often drive powerful sports utility vehicles like the one the police were in.
