The violence gripping the state of Guerrero in Mexico continued as warring drug cartels have caused the popular tourist town of Taxco to basically shut itself down.
It was a day of violence in Mexico as 19 people were killed after three separate attacks across the states of Guerrero and Michoacan. Among those killed are police officers and a local official.
Experts and residents agree that drug cartels effectively control wide swaths of Mexico, but President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador mentioned gangs and drugs exactly zero times.
