Gunmen have burst into a bar in Central Mexico and killed at least nine people, local media report.
The attack happened on Wednesday night in the Lexuz bar in Apaseo del Alto in Guanajuato state.
Neighbors said at least seven gunmen had stormed into the venue at 21:20 local time.
The motive for the attack is unclear but shootouts in bars have become more frequent in Guanajuato, which has the highest murder rate in Mexico.
In Wednesday’s attack, the victims included five men and four women, with one of the dead reportedly the owner of the bar.
Reports indicate that two of the bodies were found in a car and not clear whether they were fleeing from the attack or were hit by stray bullets. END
