An American anarchist who went by the name John Galton was shot dead at his home in the Mexican resort of Acapulco after at least six armed individuals stormed the residence and opened fire on Galton and two more Americans while they were eating, Mexico’s police told the local media.

A woman describing herself as Galton’s partner, Lily Forester, said via social media that she saw the gunmen go straight for Galton and his friend Jason Henza, 43. Henza made it to a private hospital, Del Prado, with bullet wounds in an armpit, leg, and hand. The hospital said he checked out that same day.
