TIXTLA, Mexico As the bullets crackled in the air and police bundled students into the backs of police cars, Eusebio ran with all his strength.
Shots were being fired at those trying to escape, but Eusebio was afraid of being taken by the officers, who were accompanied by men in plainclothes with rifles.
It was terrifying but I just wanted to get away. I had a bad feeling about these police, says Eusebio, a 19-year-old student at a university for rural schoolteachers in Tixtla, in southern Guerrero state.
That feeling likely saved Eusebios life. On Sunday, Guerrero State Prosecutor Iñaky Blanco said alleged drug cartel assassins confessed theyd worked with police to murder detained students late last month. The suspects also led officials from the prosecutor's office to pits where 28 charred bodies were found.
