At least seven people were killed, including a child, when gunmen opened fire at a public swimming pool in Mexico
An eyewitness to the attacks told local authorities the armed men had arrived at the pool and opened fire around 4:30 p.m. local time on Saturday, then damaged a shop, security cameras and a monitor before leaving. Social media videos showed people in swimsuits screaming and hugging their children. The Mexican army and security forces have been deployed to search for the gunmen behind the attack, which took place in the city of Cortazar in the central state of Guanajuato.
So far, no arrests have been made and authorities say they are still investigating the motive. A dangerous place Guanajuato is a major agriculture and manufacturing hub and production site for many of the world’s top carmakers. However, it has a reputation for violent incidents and has been convulsed in recent years by brutal turf wars between rival drug gangs.
