Two presumed robbers were beaten to death, while another one survived, after trying to assault the passengers of a bus on the Mexico-Pachuca highway, in the municipality of Ecatepec, State of Mexico.

According to reports from the passengers of the bus, riding to the Northern Bus Station of Mexico Cty, around 10:00 a.m. three men boarded the bus and took positions inside the aisle.

One of them brandished a gun and demanded money, but it seems that at least one passenger didn't comply. The robber then shot his gun, but the bullet bounced and killed one of his accomplices.
