Five police vehicles were traveling through the municipality of Aguililla in the early morning when they were ambushed by more than 30 armed individuals, according to a statement from the Michoacan state prosecutor.
The attackers, in five "presumably armored" vehicles, opened fire with high caliber weapons, said the prosecutor, Adrián López Solís.
Security forces dispatched to the scene found officers slain and injured with bullet wounds, their vehicles shot up and two of them on fire, the statement said.
Images published on social media showed posters left on police vehicles signed "CJNG" -- the initials of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Reuters cited a state official as confirming the authenticity of the photos, which also showed warnings to police not to support rival crime gangs in the area.

Do the Presstitutes at CNN know GUNS ARE ILLEGAL in Mexico??
I only scanned the excerpt, but did they ultimately blame Trump?
Aren’t there some guns that Eric Holder sent to Mexico that are still unaccounted for . . . . ???
Just wondering.
Driving down the coast highway in Baja I pointed to a big hacienda and asked my Mexican guide about the men dressed in black patrolling the roof with obvious machine guns. He said, “That’s a drug lord’s house.” So, it’s not like the Mexican authorities don’t know where to find them. They don’t even bother to hide.
Pray they died quickly.
Perhaps this was simply a friendly kerfuffle celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day, misinterpreted by the colonial news agencies.
Americans love cocaine.
