The Latest: Death toll reaches 305 in central Mexico quake


The Latest on earthquakes in Mexico (all times local):12:05 p.m.Officials say the death toll from this week's magnitude 7.1 earthquake in central Mexico has climbed to 305. Civil Defense chief Luis Felipe Puente sent out a tweet on Saturday saying 167 of those deaths were in Mexico City. Morelos state accounted for 73, Puebla for 45, Mexico State for 13, Guerrero for six and Oaxaca for one. Forty-nine-year-old Jesus Gonzalez fell from a third-story balcony of a building where he was working when Tuesday's magnitude 7.1 quake hit, and he's awaiting surgery. But the first weekend since a 7.1 magnitude earthquake toppled buildings just blocks away began on a somber note.
