Gunmen attack a bar in the central Mexican state of Queretaro. According to authorities, 10 people were killed in this attack on Saturday (November 9) night. British news agency Reuters reported this.
The state attorney general and Queretaro city security chief said four gunmen attacked the bar suddenly. Seven men and three women were killed in their firing. Besides, seven other people were injured.
The authorities have arrested one person suspected of involvement in the attack. Investigators at the scene are investigating a vehicle. It is believed that the vehicle may be linked to the attack.
Queretaro is a relatively low crime area. The number of crimes like murder here is lower than many places in the country. As a result, the area is considered relatively safer than many places in Mexico.
Queretaro governor Mauricio Currie said on social media X that all those involved in this atrocity will be brought to justice. We will continue to patrol our borders. We will take all necessary steps to ensure safety as well.
Mexico's internal security is extremely fragile due to conflicts between organized crime groups and drug cartels. As a result, it has become a big challenge for the new president, Claudia Scheinbaum.
According to official data, since the swearing-in on October 1, there have been 2,788 murders across the country.
Scheinbaum has pledged to crack down on violent crime. To that end, he unveiled a detailed plan. His plans include increasing opportunities for disadvantaged youth, improving intelligence sharing between government agencies and strengthening the National Guard.
