5 killed in bus station attack

MEXICO CITY (AP):

Prosecutors in the Mexican state of Morelos say gunmen have killed five men at a bus station in the capital of Cuernavaca.

The Morelos state prosecutor’s office says that a sixth man was wounded in the attack. Authorities said in a statement Monday that the victims were specifically targeted around 4:40 a.m. but did not offer any possible motive.

Multiple organised crime groups maintain a presence in the city 35 miles (56 kilometres) south of Mexico City.

In May, a union official accompanying protesting street vendors was shot to death outside city hall, along with another trade unionist.
