GUATEMALA CITY — A Guatemalan official says a mob beat and then shot to death five men suspected of kidnapping a 15-year-old girl.
Police spokesman Donald Gonzalez says hundreds of townspeople from San Pedro Soloma seized the men, beat them with rocks and then shot them in a soccer field.
Gonzalez says authorities are still searching for the girl.
Officials estimate more than 300 people have died in vigilante mobs in Guatemala since 1996.
