A state police officer and her two bodyguards were killed in a highway attack in Mexico's violent western state of Michoacan, security officials said Monday.
Michoacan's state security agency said on social media that three members of the state Civil Guard had died in the line of duty Sunday night. One of them, Cristal García Hurtado, was a regional police commander. Local press reported that she had been decapitated.
"We strongly condemn the cowardly murder of our fellow Civil Guards, who, in the line of police duty, were cruelly attacked," the social media post said, which identified the other two victims as Itzel Madero Larrea and David de Jesus Espinoza Valdez.
