MEXICO CITY—Four police in western Mexico are dead after they were drawn into an ambush-style shooting late Wednesday.
Luis Joaquín Méndez, the chief prosecutor of the western state of Jalisco, said four municipal policemen in the city of El Salto responded to a call about armed men at a house. Once they arrived, a woman answered the door and told them nothing was wrong.
