The victims were
hit when unidentified attackers got out of a vehicle at the game
in the municipality of Acatzingo, east of state capital Puebla,
and opened fire, the state government said in a statement. The
motive for the attack was unclear.
Violence has been on the rise in Puebla in recent months. On
Friday, 11 members of the same family were killed in a shooting
in a mountainous area of the state known as Sierra Negra.
