MEXICO CITY -- Authorities in northern Mexico said Sunday that a drug gang was behind the shooting attack on a city hall that killed a feminist activist and a bodyguard.
One attacker also died in the Thursday shooting outside the city hall in Guaymas, in the northern border state of Sonora. He was killed when police returned fire.
State prosecutor Claudia Contreras also said at least one hand grenade was used in the attack, but that it appeared to have hit a car.
The intended target may have been the Guaymas police chief, based on threats he had received, Contreras said.
But those that died were one of the chief’s bodyguards and Lucero Marisol, a participant in a rally at city hall marking the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
