Gunfire breaks out at protest in Mexico

Gunfire erupted when protesters tried to force their way into city hall in the Mexican resort of Cancun, and a journalism group said two reporters were wounded. The demonstrators were protesting against the recent killings of women in Quintana Roo, the Caribbean coast state where Cancun is located. The march was called after prosecutors announced earlier on Monday that the body of a 20-year-old woman had been found in Cancun about two days after she went missing. The state has seen a dozen killings of women so far this year. Governor Carlos Joaquin had met with women’s groups earlier in the day to promise no efforts would be spared in investigating the most recent killing.
