Mexico: At Least 11 Dead in Armed Attack at Football Stadium (VIDEO)

At least 11 people were killed and 12 injured in an armed attack at a football stadium in the city of Salamanca, in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. Authorities announced that operations are underway to locate and arrest the perpetrators. Ten of the dead died at the scene, while one died while receiving medical care. Guanajuato is a major industrial and tourist center, but is also affected by violence caused by organized crime gangs competing for control of drug trafficking and stolen fuel. Meanwhile, four bags containing human remains were found in the same city the previous night. The Mexican government had assured that the number of homicides in the country had decreased in 2025 to the lowest level in the last decade.
