Mexico: A fight between two rival gangs in the violence-plagued southwestern state of Guerrero left 18 dead, including a mayor and a former mayor, and two more wounded, Mexican authorities said on Thursday.
Among those shot dead in San Miguel Totolapan on Wednesday were Mayor Conrado Mendoza, his father and former Mayor Juan Mendoza, as well as other local officials, according to a statement from the government of the state of Guerrero.
"It happened in the context of a dispute between criminal gangs," Deputy Security Minister Ricardo Mejia said, adding that organized crime groups La Familia Michoacana and Los Tequileros appeared to be involved.
Speaking at a news conference alongside President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Mejia said an investigation was in course to find the perpetrators.
Investigators were also working to verify a video in which Los Tequileros appear to claim responsibility for the killings, he added. Both gangs are involved in drug smuggling, as well as extortion and kidnapping. Guerrero is an important heroin producing state.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A baby girl, her parents and uncle were found dead in a central California orchard two days after they were kidnapped at gunpoint from their business, police said.
“Our worst fears have been confirmed,” Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke said at a Wednesday night news conference.
Warnke did not release any information about how and when police believe they were killed. He said the victims were close to each other when found by a farm worker in a remote area.
The grim announcement came after authorities earlier Wednesday released surveillance video of a man kidnapping 8-month-old Aroohi Dheri; her mother Jasleen Kaur, 27; father Jasdeep Singh, 36; and uncle Amandeep Singh, 39, on Monday.
