occurred Friday afternoon on the Guadalajara-Tequila highway, where an
armed commando attacked a group of men riding in several vehicles.After the shootout involving automatic rifles and grenades, the aggressors fled in the direction of the neighboring state of Nayarit.
Several vehicles, including a motorcycle and a charred van with three bodies inside, were found at the scene.
