PGJE Investigates Municipal Police for 6+ killed in Iguala Guerrero

On my previous post I included information about the shootings in Iguala, but it was with much confusion by Pepe and myself.  I began reading reports from people on the ground, and that is where I found photos of the buses, riddled by bullet impacts.  No where previously, was the bus attacks mentioned in the media, or government.  Residents of the city were blaming the government, police and the mayor,  José Luis Abarca (at left) as being responsible for the killings.

It appears municipal police began the violence with the first attack, but later a armed commando also attacked.  

Residents and witnesses are reporting a higher number of both dead and injured.  The State is saying 6 dead and 17 injured.

Today at a press conference, Attorney General of the State, Iñaky Blanco reported that around 21:30 pm yesterday, members of the Municipal Preventive Police had an "incident" with students and teachers of  Ayotzinapa at the bus station of Iguala.

The shooting involved 3 buses.  One bus with multiple broken windows,  hurriedly fled to the  Palacio de Justicia, where occupants exited the bus. Another bus made it to a convenience store, it was riddled with AR-15 bullet impacts, On that bus 2 people had been killed.

Later around 30 minutes past midnight, people began giving their account to reporters.  They were   at the junction that leads to the municipality of Santa Teresa,  when an armed group began shooting expending hundreds of shots.  

Among the vehicles shot at was the Chilpancingo Hornets Futbol team bus, multiple deaths were within the bus.   Bullet impacts were also from AR-15s.  It was at that site the woman in a taxi was killed.

I appreciate the fact this story is so confusing.  However, that is precisely why the state has moved to investigate and that was the purpose of this post, to inform readers that an investigation has been initiated due to complaints and eye witness accounts.  

The state attorney said the investigation is focused primarily on the municipal police.  Municipal police are notorious for corruption and ties to organized crime. (all fotos are from facebook)
