Gunmen killed 20 people at a clandestine cock fight late Sunday in Mexico's western state of Michoacan, prosecutors say.
“The snack food company truck arrived, and several armed people in camouflage clothing got out,” a prosecutors' statement said.
“At the same moment, a bus that was outside the building was used as a blockade,” apparently to prevent victims from escaping or calling for help, it said.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
