Acapulco, Mexico: Gunmen have shot at a car carrying a gubernatorial candidate's aides in southern Mexico in a new act of violence ahead of June 7 elections in the state of Guerrero.
Jorge Camacho, the candidate of the conservative National Action Party, said Saturday that unknown gunmen hit the car more than 20 times with high-caliber guns after a campaign event late Friday.
"My team is out of danger," said Camacho, who posted pictures on Facebook showing the sport-utility vehicle with several bullet holes.
The attack took place on the road that links the beach resorts of Acapulco and Zihuatanejo when the campaign's operations coordinator and driver stopped for fuel.
After the two men identified themselves as campaign workers, the gunmen said they had made a mistake and apologized, said Camacho's spokesman Juan Manuel Millan.
