Local Editor

Unknown gunmen opened fire as police and teachers clashed in southern Mexico Sunday during a protest that left six people dead and more than 100 injured, authorities said.

The violence erupted as police threw tear gas at the protesters to end a week-long barricade that was blocking a road in Asuncion Nochixtlan, a town in Oaxaca state, where some vehicles were set on fire.
