Eight more dead in Tijuana
The Associated Press is reporting that overnight violence left eight people dead in the Mexican border city of Tijuana.
The state prosecutor's office said three teenagers, including a 14-year-old girl, were gunned down in the street; a few blocks away, officials found the bullet-riddled body of a man.
In another part of the city, gunmen opened fire on a car, killing two men. Assailants attacked another car before dawn Tuesday, injuring a police officer and killing a relative. A few hours later, the body of a man was found near City Hall, his head covered with a plastic bag.
Officials blame warring cells of the Arellano-Felix drug-trafficking gang for the wave of violence.
