Survivor of Mexico Student Massacre: 'It Was Terrifying'

TIXTLA, Mexico — As the bullets crackled in the air and police bundled students into the backs of police cars, Eusebio ran with all his strength.

Shots were being fired at those trying to escape, but Eusebio was afraid of being taken by the officers, who were accompanied by men in plainclothes with rifles.

“It was terrifying but I just wanted to get away. I had a bad feeling about these police,” says Eusebio, a 19-year-old student at a university for rural schoolteachers in Tixtla, in southern Guerrero state.

That feeling likely saved Eusebio’s life. On Sunday, Guerrero State Prosecutor Iñaky Blanco said alleged drug cartel assassins confessed they’d worked with police to murder detained students late last month. The suspects also led officials from the prosecutor's office to pits where 28 charred bodies were found.

1. some police/departments in mexico are very corrupt

Officials from the prosecutor's office and any witnesses are in danger

2. You've got that right. Prosecutors of crime in oligarchies hell bent on control of the country

are taking on duties with powerful hazards, aren't they?

Hope they will be doubly watchful for themselves. Honest people are in short supply.
