ABC News: "A mayor in Mexico's western state of Michoacan was shot dead Wednesday night while campaigning for President Felipe Calderon's sister in her run for the governorship. Mayor Ricardo Guzman of La Piedad was passing out campaign material when an SUV drove by and a gunman opened fire, said Jonathan Arredondo, spokesman of the state Attorney General's Office.
