Guatemala City - A Guatemalan lawmaker and three police officers were killed in an armed attack on Nov 6, authorities said.

The attack targeted Congressman Julio Portillo, who was in the town of Rio Hondo, in the eastern Zacapa department known to have drug trafficking activity.

“President Luis Contreras, members of the Board of Directors and lawmakers mourn the tragic passing of Congressman Julio Cesar Portillo Paz, representative of the Zacapa district,” Guatemala’s Congress posted on X late on Nov 6.

A fire service official had told reporters earlier on Nov 6 that Portillo had escaped unharmed.
