Gunmen in Southeast Mexico open fire killing six, injuring five

Gunmen opened fire early Sunday at a bar in Southeast Mexico, killing six people and injuring at least five others.

The shooting took place in the coastal province of Tabasco, which is struggling with a recent increase in violence.

Public Safety Secretary Omar García Harfuch said on X that the shooting happened in Villahermosa and that federal authorities are working with local officials to help solve the crime.

“Armed persons” entered the bar “looking for a specific person” and the shots hit those nearby, state deputy prosecutor Gilberto Melquiades said at a press conference, adding that an investigation was ongoing, AFP reported. No arrests were reported, and it wasn’t immediately clear what prompted the shooting. (CBS)
