MEXICO CITY, May 8 (UPI) -- The head of Mexico's federal police force was killed Thursday by a group of gunmen, police officials said.
Edgar Millan Gomez was shot several times outside his Mexico City apartment building early Thursday, El Universal reported online.
He later died at a nearby hospital, according to police.
