MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican authorities say 14 people are dead following a clash between gunmen from a criminal gang and residents of a small farming community in central Mexico. Police in the State of Mexico, which abuts Mexico City, say the clash occurred Friday in the hamlet of Texcaltitlan. The community is about 80 miles southwest of the capital. State police said 11 of the dead were members of the criminal gang and three were village residents. Police have not identified the gang, but the violent Familia Michoacana drug cartel has been dominant in the area for a decade.
