The shooting took place in the coastal province of Tabasco,
which is struggling with a recent increase in violence.
Public Safety Secretary Omar García Harfuch said on X that the
shooting happened in Villahermosa and that federal authorities
are working with local officials to help solve the crime.
No arrests were reported, and it wasn’t immediately clear what
prompted the shooting. Videos posted on social media show people
fleeing the bar while some survivors stayed with the victims as
police arrived.
Sunday’s attack was the latest violent incident to occur as a
new president inherits a whirlwind of violence.
Earlier this month, gunmen opened fire in a bar in central
Mexico killing 10 people and injuring 13. The attack took place
in the historic city center of Querétaro in a region that until
recently had long been spared the violence seen in neighboring
states like Guerrero.
