HUEHUETOCA, Mexico — Gunmen opened fire in a bar in central Mexico killing 10 people and injuring 13, local authorities said Sunday.
The attack took place Saturday in the historic city center of Querétaro in a region that had long been spared from violence.
Juan Luis Ferrusca Ortiz, the city’s head of public security, said at least one person was arrested following the attack. He said officials identified those responsible by tracking the license plates on the car the armed men fled in.
Two videos, disseminated on social networks, show a group of four walking into the bar and shooting indiscriminately at people eating at several tables. The video shows the screaming people throwing themselves on the floor and trying to seek refuge, stained with the blood of the people shot. Two of the 13 wounded were reported to be gravely injured.
Hours after the attack, Querétaro’s Gov. Mauricio Kuri vowed to bring the assailants to justice, and said he was working to provide aid for the families of those killed.
