5 killed while playing soccer in southern Mexico

MEXICO CITY – Gunmen drove up to a soccer field and shot five men to death as they played early Monday near the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco, police in southern Mexico said.

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 by day that athletes wait until night to compete. Many people also work unusual hours in the local tourist industry.

The men were playing in the hamlet of Xaltianguis, on the northern outskirts of Acapulco, when gunmen in three vehicles pulled up beside the field and opened fire.

Two of the dead were identified as local men aged 25 and 34; the other three victims had not been identified because relatives quickly took the bodies away.

2. Terrorism. When they said that the new millenium would see a growth in terrorism they weren't
kidding.

4. Perhaps this has something to do with the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
and the grievous misinterpretation thereof allowing American guns to proliferate.
