Mayhem was unleashed in the city of Queretaro when unidentified gunmen opened fire at a bar killing 12 people and injuring seven others in the late hours of Saturday evening.
The attack took place at Los Cantaritos bar, where the gunmen arrived in a truck and shot rapidly at the bar.
Confirming the incident was Juan Luis Ferrusca, the head of public security for Queretaro, he disclosed that “Emergency services arrived at the scene and confirmed that at least four people armed with long weapons had arrived on board a pickup truck”.
He added that “Inside, 10 people were reported dead and at least seven more were injured so far”.
Prodesq crime analyst Temitope Oladeji gathered that two of the injured victims lost their lives on the way to the hospital while the other five remain in critical condition.
He added that one suspect had been detained by the Queretaro police authorities and investigation was underway into the cause of the shooting and if it was cartel related or gang related.
Queretaro is a city in central Mexico and was considered to be one of the safest cities in Mexico, but the increase in cartel war has left many cities in Mexico in chaos.
This will be the 20th gun related violence in Mexico since the beginning of the year, which has witnessed a surge since the arrest of popular cartel leader “El Mayo” Zambada and extradited to the United States.
