October 13, 2014: Guerrero Government offices in Chilpancingo are in flames.

Chilpancingo municipal president, Mario Moreno, reports that teachers and student teachers have entered the Palace of Government in Chilpancingo where Governor Angel Heladio Aguirre has his offices, and they are burning down everything in their path.

"The photographs I'm being sent show three buildings in flames, which is a serious matter because they represent an institution. There are police weapons inside one of them", he said in an interview with Raymundo Riva Palacio, on the news program Al Instante, transmitted on Radio Capital.

One of the seven buildings which make up the government headquarters is totally engulfed in flames, and the firemen have not yet gotten there.
