Drama in Nayarit: Bullets fly in PRI's and PRD's campaign headquarters

It is hard to imagine the Nayarit gubernatorial campaign in Nayarit heating up further: Armed men entered the hotel in Tepeic where both PRI and PRD have their campaign headquarters, where after a 5-minute shootout they kidnapped a so far unidentified person. Jesús Ortega, former PRD president and now head of the PRD campaign in Nayarit, was at the hotel and tweeted about the shootout as it happened. 

PRD's gubernatorial candidate Guadalupe Acosta Naranjo also suspended campaigning in the Ruiz municipality upon recommendation from his staff.
