Gunmen Kill 20 at Cockfight in Michoacán, Mexico
------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, 20 people were killed Sunday when gunmen opened fire on a
crowd watching a cockfight in a small town in the western state of
Michoacán. Police said they found more than 100 30-caliber shell casings
at the crime scene. Mexico's military has joined the search for the
killers, but so far no arrests have been made.

Last year Mexico filed a lawsuit in a U.S. federal court seeking to hold
10 U.S.-based gunmakers accountable for Mexico's epidemic of gun
violence. The complaint says more than half a million U.S.-made guns are
smuggled to Mexico each year.
