ACAPULCO, Mexico – At least 24 people have been killed in a Mexican Pacific coast state plagued by drug gang violence.

A gunbattle between soldiers and armed men killed 11 people in the small town of Ajuchitlan del Progreso in the deadliest incident Saturday. The investigative police director for Guerrero state says one soldier was among the dead.

Guerrero, state police also say the bodies of two decapitated men were left on a scenic road packed with nightclubs in the resort city of Acapulco.

In a rural community outside Acapulco, gunmen killed five police officers on patrol, and officers found the bullet-ridden bodies of five other men in the same area. Two of those had been beheaded.

A man was found shot to death on the edge of Acapulco.
