ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ACAPULCO - More than a dozen armed assailants staged and videotaped simultaneous attacks against two offices of the state attorney general in Acapulco on Tuesday, killing at least seven people in this Pacific resort plagued by drug violence.
The attacks took place about 15 kilometers (nine miles) north of the tourist zone and left five state police investigators and two secretaries dead, said Enrique Gil Mercado, special prosecutor for the attorney general´s office in Guerrero.
The gunmen were dressed in military uniforms and pretended to be conducting a weapons revision in the offices, said Erit Montufar, director-general of the attorney general´s investigative police offices in Guerrero.
Montafur said an assailant in one office asked: "Are you the only ones here?" And at the other office, a gunmen asked: "Are these all the weapons you have?"
The officers answered "yes" to both questions and handed over their weapons, after which the gunmen opened fire while videotaping both shootings, Montufar said. The attacks took place in Emiliano Zapata and Ciudad del Renacimiento neighborhoods.
About eight gunmen took part in each attack and all escaped, Gil said, adding he did not immediately know how many people were injured."
