| Description | An angry crowd killed a state police officer in southern Mexico, exacting revenge for the shooting of a taxi driver in a barroom brawl, authorities said on Saturday.
Scores of angry residents in the town of Magdalena Tequisistlan broke into a municipal government building to seize the officer, who was thrown from the third story to the town plaza, then doused with gasoline and set on fire, according to the Oaxaca state attorney general's office.
The officer reportedly had shot a taxi driver on Friday night after arguing with the man at a bar, and was later taken into custody by local authorities, in the town located 290 miles (470 kilometers) southeast of Mexico City. |
