BREAKING NEWS: 13 Massacred in Juarez -- UPDATEDx5
None of the usual Juarez newspapers, or even the El Paso Times has this story yet. From El Universal:I will update this story as details emerge. La Polaka reports the residence was in the Horizonte Sur district, while several others say it was in El Campanario. At least thirteen youths were massacred in Juarez over Friday night, according to the Mexican daily El Universal. Witness reports many ambulances arriving at public hospitals with dead and wounded. Armed suspects arriving aboard a convoy of two vehicles burst into a party at a residence near the corner of calles Arquitectos and Felix Candela in the Horizonte Sur district at about 2254 hrs and started firing. AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles, and handguns were used in the assault. Reports say the gunmen pursued several victims before shooting them. The party was reportedly a weekly gathering. More than 30 guests attended last night. Eleven victims died at the scene. Twenty are said to have survived the shooting so far. One of the survivors are said be nine years old. Two of the wounded were pregnant women. The death toll included six men and seven women. Reports are so many were shot, Juarez ran out of ambulances to transport the victims forcing authorities to use medical examiner vans as ambulances. Reports say the killers were likely Artistas Asesinos, an armed group associated with the Sinaloa Drug Cartel. The murders were likely a gang rivalry. Posted by: badanov 2010-10-23 |
