TOLUCA, Mexico (AP) - Four men were killed and a fifth wounded Saturday morning by gunfire at a gathering of federal and Mexico State officials on the outskirts of Mexico City, Mexico State prosecutors said.
The shootings took place at an apartment in the town of Naucalpan, on the northwest outskirts of Mexico City.
"They were drinking alcoholic beverages when on of them pulled out from under his clothes a pistol and used it against his companions," the Mexico State attorney general*s office announced in a news release.
The shooting claimed the lives of a former agent for the federal attorney general's office, a municipal public works director, a deputy commander for the Federal Agency of Investigation, and a family court employee.
Investigators believe one of the dead men may have turned a gun on himself after shooting the others.
Omar Alberto Morales, a former state police officer, was treated for gunshot wounds to the right arm and head at a hospital in Naucalpan, where he was reported in stable condition.
