Four die in armed brawl over a pothole

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Four Mexicans were killed when a dispute between two 
Tzotzil Indian families over a pothole in the street escalated into a 
full-blown shootout.

One of the families closed off the cracked concrete and mud road in the town 
of Banelos in the poor southern state of Chiapas to fill in a hole left by 
heavy rain.

That angered a family with a transport business who needed to get their 
truck through, the Mexican daily Reforma said on Tuesday.

Insults led to blows and finally the two families shot at each other using 
various caliber guns and a hefty AR-15 rifle, Reforma said. Shootings are 
not uncommon in Mexico's little-policed indigenous regions, where many take 
the law into their own hands.

A photo showed somber-looking locals standing in two groups on either side 
of the pothole -- now filled in with rubble and fit to be driven over again.
