MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Angry gamblers threw two hand grenades into a crowd at a cockfight in western Mexico, killing four men and seriously injuring at least 11 others, authorities said Monday.

TV images showed doctors wrapping bandages around the bloody limbs of the victims of the late-night attack in the tequila-making state of Jalisco.

"Two men died at the cockfight and two more died in nearby hospitals," said Jose Ramirez, spokesman for the Jalisco Attorney General's office. "It appears that some men lost money and then they lost control."

Local media reported that shots were also fired at the cockfight in the town of Tonala, just outside the state capital, Guadalajara. About 300 people attended the fight.

Six men were arrested at a hospital when five of them tried to carry off the sixth, who was being treated for injuries sustained at the cockfight, online newspapers reported.

Cockfighting is popular in Mexico, especially in rural areas, and huge sums of money are often gambled on the outcome.

1. Yeah, but what happened to their cocks?

They don't mention anything about the health of the roosters.

6. I think the cocks planted them.

The plan is in motion.

The chicken has flown the coop.
The brown bag holds the poop.
