At least 11 people were killed<\/a>, and tens more were injured Sunday when gunmen<\/a> opened fire at a soccer field in central Mexico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This incident adds to a wave of violence that we are sadly experiencing in the state, and particularly in Salamanca,” Salamanca Mayor Cesar Prieto said in a statement, according to the El Paso Times<\/a>. “Unfortunately, criminal groups are trying to subjugate the authorities, which they will not achieve.”<\/p>\n

Prieto said the “regrettable and cowardly” attack in the Loma de Flores community happened during a social gathering, the newspaper reported. No motive for the attack has been given.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press<\/a> noted that the Guanajuato state prosecutor’s office is working with federal authorities to investigate the incident and step up security in that area.<\/p>\n

According to the outlet, Guanajuato had the highest homicide total in Mexico in 2025. The wire service noted that much of the violence stemmed from a conflict between the Santa Rosa de Lima gang and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, there are criminal groups trying to subjugate authorities, something they are not going to achieve,” the mayor said.<\/p>\n
