ZINACANTAN, Mexico — A mob armed with clubs, stones and guns attacked a political rally in southern Mexico on Saturday, sparking hours of clashes that left three people dead and six more wounded.
Municipal police officer Mario Lopez said the attack in the town of Nachig, in Chiapas state, happened during a morning campaign event for Domingo Perez, a mayoral candidate representing the Democratic Revolution Party, or PRD, in Aug. 4 elections.
Hundreds of people armed with clubs and stones attacked the rally. Lopez said some pulled out weapons and fired on people gathered in a town park.
The violence lasted several hours and left a toll of three dead and six wounded - two seriously, according to local prosecutors. Some 15 homes and 20 cars were burned.
Hundreds of state police were deployed to Nachig to restore order.
According to Lopez, the attackers were followers of Jose Hernandez of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, who has had a long-running dispute with the PRD's Perez.
Authorities detained Hernandez and five other people.
