Mexican authorities said Saturday that eight police officers have been killed in less than 24 hours in a state near the capital. Mexico state attorney general's office spokesman Octavio Campos said the police chief and a commander in the town of Teoloyucan were found shot to death Friday inside a patrol car. Campos said six state officers were gunned down in three separate attacks late Thursday. Seven other people were also killed in the state during the same period.
