A mayor in Mexico’s western state of Michoacán was shot dead in a plaza in front of dozens of people who had gathered for Day of the Dead festivities, authorities have said.

The mayor of the Uruapan municipality, Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodríguez, was gunned down Saturday night in the town’s historic centre. He was rushed to a hospital where he later died, according to state prosecutor Carlos Torres Piña.

A city council member and a bodyguard were also injured in the assault.

    Well, you’d be wrong about that.

    The cartels are harming Mexico, and we should be helping to protect innocent Mexicans because that’s the decent thing to do.

    You guys are clearly too far gone and are just trying to fit in with each other. It’s pretty disgusting and sad, but I’m glad I’ve learned not to take you people seriously on anything.

      1. All I hear from the right is how we should take care of America first.
      2. We can’t protect any other country if we can’t protect our own, and clearly this administration has only terrorized its citizens, so we’re pretty damn far off from helping others.
      3. Everything you’ve said here so far is disgusting and sad
