Update: Ten Killed In Juarez Bar
Police say gunmen burst into a bar in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and opened fire, killing ten people.
Chihuahua state prosecutors’ spokesman Arturo Sandoval says assailants traveling in three cars arrived at the bar called El Castillo late Thursday and opened fire.
A woman in her early twenties and nine men died. The victims’ ages range from 18 to 55, according to police.
Sandoval told the Associated Press Friday that police found more than 130 bullet casings at the scene, but a news release sent by Chihuahua State investigators stated only 26 shell casings from at least two different weapons were recovered from the scene.
Ciudad Juarez has been wracked by a turf war between the Sinaloa and Juarez drug cartels.
More than 3,000 people were killed in the city of 1.3 million in 2010.
