Mexico: 13 dead in massacre at Ciudad Juarez party
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico
Gunmen in three cars drove up to the home around 11 p.m. Friday
and began shooting, Chihuahua state prosecutors spokesman Fidel
Banuelos said Saturday.
The dead were aged 14 to 20, Banuelos said, and a 9-year-old
child was also gravely wounded.
Police found 70 bullet casings from assault weapons typically
used by drug gangs.
The attackers escaped, and there have been no arrests.
Last Sunday, gunmen stormed two homes in Ciudad Juarez, killing
seven at a party and two more in another house nearby. Police have
not named any suspects or given a possible motive in that massacre.
The city across the border from El Paso, Texas, has become one
of the world's deadliest amid a turf war between the Sinaloa and
Juarez drug cartels. More than 2,000 people have been killed in
Ciudad Juarez this year.
