Gunmen killed five high school students and an adult in a street shooting in central Mexico, local authorities said on Tuesday.
According to police, shooters opened fire on a group of students on Monday night, killing three males and two females aged between 16 and 18, as well as a 65-year-old woman who was in the same area.
“Unfortunately we can say that a few hours ago in the Barron community six people lost their lives in an armed attack,” said Cesar Prieto, mayor of the city in Guanajuato state.
The mass shooting happened just two weeks after eight women and three men were killed in an apparent gangland revenge attack on two bars and a hotel in Celaya, another city in Guanajuato.
Located in Mexico’s prosperous industrial center and home to a refinery and a major pipeline, Guanajuato has become one of the most violent states in Mexico due to a dispute between the Santa Rosa de Lima and Jalisco New Generation cartels. The Department of Justice considers the Jalisco cartel to be “one of the five most dangerous transnational criminal organizations in the world.”
