Guyana shooting rampage kills 11

Gunmen in Guyana have gone on a rampage, killing 11 people, including five children, police say.

The gunmen stormed into a village east of the capital, Georgetown, and fired into several houses.

It was reported to be the worst mass killing in the South American country for more than 30 years, and sparked angry protests by neighbours.

Officials suspect a criminal gang acting on the orders of the country's most wanted man, Rondell Rawlins.

Police say Rondell Rawlins has accused government forces of kidnapping his pregnant girlfriend, and has threatened to launch attacks until she is returned.
