 | The state of Guerrero is deploying 60 armed men to patrol the beaches “in light of the violent events that have occurred recently.” Three people were shot dead on beaches in Acapulco last week. Acapulco has seen turf battles between gangs since at least 2006. The gangs are fighting over drug sales and income from protection payments from businesses, bars, bus and taxi drivers. |  |
 | The violence continues despite thousands of soldiers deployed in the city after Category 5 Hurricane Otis in late October. The storm killed 52 and left 32 missing. It also caused severe damage to virtually all of Acapulco's hotels. The pie has declined in size, leaving less for gangsters to fight over. Acapulco is a good place for foreigners to avoid.  |
