At least 12 people were killed overnight in the Mexican state of Guanajuato when gunmen opened fire during a street celebration in the city of Irapuato.
The attack took place while locals were dancing and drinking in honor of St. John the Baptist.
Rodolfo Gmez Cervantes, an Irapuato official, confirmed at a news conference that the death toll had risen to 12, with around 20 others wounded.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum condemned the attack and said an investigation is underway. “It is very unfortunate what happened. An investigation is underway,” he said.
