MEXICO CITY — Gunmen drove up to a soccer field and fatally shot five men as they played early Monday near the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco, said police in southern Mexico.
It was unclear why the five men were playing so late, but the region of Guerrero state is often so hot and humid by day that athletes wait until night to compete. Many people also work unusual hours in the local tourist industry.
Also Monday, Mexican soldiers seized an arsenal of gold-plated, diamond-encrusted weapons thought to belong to the Valencia gang, allies of the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel, prosecutors said.
