Drug violence is an old story in Mexico, but a recent shootout in Acapulco broke new ground, taking place in broad daylight on Acapulco’s main boulevard in one of the city’s most heavily-traveled and best-known areas. The April 14 attack occurred in heavy traffic on Miguel Aleman Boulevard within sight of Acapulco’s famous beach and prominent high-rise hotels. Several cars were riddled with bullets, three innocent bystanders were killed and five were wounded. A federal police officer and two men who were apparently the targets of the attack also died.
