Seven People Killed by Lightning in Central Mexico

MEXICO CITY – Seven people died and two more were injured when struck by a lightning bolt in the Mesa Cuata community in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, said the state secretary of public safety, Alvar Cabeza de Vaca.

The official, cited by local media, said it was around 3:00 p.m. local time when the report came in that seven people were injured by lightning in that town.

It wasn’t until an hour later, however, that the deaths of seven people were confirmed and that two others were injured, all apparently belonging to the same family.

According to the official, members of the municipal and state emergency management services, as well as from the Public Safety Secretariat and the Red Cross, rushed to the scene to provide aid for the injured and determine exactly what happened.

“They were standing together or walking down a road – these were people who go out to work in the fields,” the official said.

The injured were described as a woman, 30, and an 8-year-old boy, both reportedly taken to Guanajuato General Hospital with injuries that were not life threatening.

Cabeza de Vaca repeated the rainy-season guidelines to the population.

“What people must do, above all those who live in the countryside, is take shelter during rainstorms, which can easily turn into electric storms, but they must not seek shelter under a tree or on high ground,” he said.

Colombian bus driver raped by 3 men ( 3,500 dollar reward ) people outraged

Colombian society reacted with indignation Friday over the case of a Bogota bus driver who was sexually assaulted by at least three individuals who got on the public transport vehicle she was driving along her usual route.

There were no other passengers on the bus at the time.

The Bogota Metropolitan Police said Friday that the gang rape occurred around 11 p.m. Thursday when the bus the woman was driving was going through the densely populated Kennedy district on the southwest side of the city.

There, according to preliminary accounts, two men and a woman got on the bus and threatened the driver with knives.

Later, according to police, one of them took control of the bus while the other two individuals took the driver to the back of the bus, where they beat her and sexually assaulted her.

Police officials cited in the media indicate that the rapists used "objects" to sexually assault the driver, who was left half-naked on the southwest side of the city.

Police Col. Luis Barrera told reporters that the woman, who is receiving medical care at Polyclinic Olaya, was able to tell officers what happened and help with the creation of sketches of the aggressors.

With these elements, Barrera said, citizens will be asked to help "provide information" about the suspects and their whereabouts, in exchanged for which the police force is offering a reward of 10 million pesos ($3,520).

After hearing what happened, Bogota Mayor Gustavo Petro said on Twitter that "there is a rapidly growing number of attacks on (bus) drivers" which "cannot go unpunished, even less because the victims are working women." EFE
