A group of armed men ambushed a police car and killed four municipal officers inside, the state-run Notimex news agency reported. The officers had no chance to draw their weapons to defend themselves, the local public safety secretary said. A child was among two wounded civilians caught in the crossfire. There are no suspects yet but authorities continue to look for leads. Six people at a local metal works shop were also killed when a group of gunmen burst into a barbecue there. Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's most violent city, shares a border with El Paso, Texas. Nationwide, more than 28,000 people have died in drug violence since December 2006, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon took office and started his stepped-up campaign against organized crime.
