Gunmen have killed The Mayor of The City of San Miguel Totolapan, in south-western Mexico, and at least 18 others, officials have confirmed.

Police say gunmen attacked The City Hall at 14:00 (19:00 GMT) on Wednesday, with photos posted online showing The Building riddled with bullet holes.

Mayor Conrado Mendoza Almeda's party, The PRD, has condemned his " cowardly" assassination and demanded justice.

The Attack has been blamed on The Los Tequileros criminal gang.

Police officers and council workers were also killed in The Massacre , with graphic images of bloodied bodies lying on The ground circulating on Social Media .

Mr Mendoza Almeda's father, former mayor Juan Mendoza Acosta, was also killed - in his Home - before The Attack moved to The City Hall .

A highway in The State of Guerrero, where San Miguel Totolapan Lies - was reportedly briefly blocked by large vehicles to prevent security forces from getting into The City .

In a preliminary report seen by local media, Guerrero's Attorney General said that 18 people were killed and three others were wounded.

Following The Attack , The Ministry of National Defence said it was deploying army and navy units to The area to find The Gunmen .

Guerrero Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda she deeply regretted The deaths.

Shortly before The Attack , alleged members of Los Tequileros released a video on social networks announcing its return to The region, where they had been fighting a rival drug gang.

The Criminal group devastated Guerrero between 2015 and 2017 - and was known for threatening mayors of The region - until its leader, Raybel Jacobo de Almonte was assassinated.

De Almonte was known as El Tequilero - The Tequila Drinker - and his gang took their name from Him .
