ALBAWABA - A group of armed men crashed into a soccer field, opened fire, killing at least 11 people and injuring 12 others after a match in the Mexican city of Salamanca, according to Mayor Cesar Prieto.
Prieto confirmed the incident via a post on his Facebook on Sunday; however, the motivation of the attack is yet to be declared by the Mexican police.
Armed attackers are still on the run, local media reported. "Those responsible will be found," Prieto said on Facebook.
Reuters reported that one woman and a child were among those injured in the "regrettable and cowardly" attack in the Loma de Flores community, Prieto further mentioned.
"This incident adds to a wave of violence that we are sadly experiencing in the state, and particularly in Salamanca," Salamanca Mayor wrote, adding, "Unfortunately, criminal groups are trying to subjugate the authorities, which they will not achieve."
