Six people, including five teenagers, have been shot dead in an open street in the Barrón community in central Mexico.
According to the police, armed men opened fire on a group of schoolchildren early on Tuesday morning Swedish time and killed three boys and two girls who were between 16 and 18 years old, as well as a 65-year-old woman.
“Unfortunately, we have to announce that six people in Barrón lost their lives in an armed attack a few hours ago,” says Mayor Cesar Prieto.
The massacre occurred just two weeks after eight women and three men were killed in an attack on two bars in the city of Celaya, also located in Guanajuato, in a gang-related act.
Guanajuato has become one of the most violent states in the country as a result of a bloody conflict between two rival drug cartels.
