TIJUANA, Mexico — Seven police officers were assassinated in about an hour’s time in what authorities said Tuesday was a coordinated effort that followed months of relative calm in a border city stricken by drug-fueled violence. Three officers were injured.

Municipal police detained several people after Monday night’s attacks, officials said.

The killings come as Mayor Jorge Ramos intensifies an effort to rid the police department of corrupt officers.
