GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) - Gunmen killed 12 people, including three police officers, in a Sunday night assault on a small town in Guyana, authorities said. It was the second major attack blamed on gangs in recent weeks.
Police said men dressed in military fatigues and armed with assault rifles invaded a police station and made off with ammunition and weapons in the southwestern township of Bartica.
The nine civilians included five people who were sleeping in hammocks along with Essequibo River outside the police station, Health Minister Leslie Ramsammy.
