Would-be bullfighter killed

A fan trying his hand during an improvised bullfight in southern Mexico died on Saturday after a bull gored him in the throat.

Police in Guerrero state say 22-year-old Juan Casarrubias Rendon died in the small mountain town of Atlixtac. A state police statement said Casarrubias was wounded during a traditional, rodeo-like event known as a "jaripeo". He was taken to a local clinic but died.
