Mexico cartel shootout leaves 28 dead - CBS News: "AP)
MORELIA, Mexico - Gunmen apparently from two rival drug gangs fought a ferocious gun battle on a highway in a western Mexico state that killed 28 men Wednesday, authorities said.
The attorney general's office in the Pacific coast state of Nayarit said the gunfight started about 5 p.m. near the town of Ruiz, 500 miles northwest of Mexico City.
Police initially responded to a citizen complaint of a kidnapping by a group of armed men in a nearby city who reportedly fled on the federal highway, the prosecutors office said. As the officers headed toward the scene, they heard a second report of a shootout involving the same men, it said."
