Briefcase 1 Gangsters shot down a helicopter in Mexico. Suspected gangsters shot down a helicopter in a clash with police in restive western Mexico on Tuesday, killing four people, the governor of the state of Michoacan said. "During the operation, an official helicopter which was supporting the patrol in area of difficult access was shot down," he said. Last year, members of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, which operates in Michoacan and in the neighboring state of Jalisco, shot down an army helicopter, killing six soldiers. Michoacan has one of the highest murder rates in Mexico after being overrun with drug gangs and armed vigilante groups.
