At least 13 police officers were killed and nine others injured in an attack by gunmen in the western state of Michoacan, a region where violence attributed to organized crime groups has spiked in recent months.

 

The state police officers had gone to a home in the town of El Aguaje in Aguililla municipality to enforce a judicial order when "several armed civilians fired on them," Michoacan's state security department said in a statement.
