Gunmen open fire at park in central Mexico; 1 killed, 10 injured including 8 minors

One man died and 10 others, including children aged 5 to 12, were injured in an attack amid ongoing cartel violence in Guanajuato state, officials said.

  • On Tuesday night in San Francisco del Rincón, gunmen opened fire at a park, killing one person and injuring 10, including a 36-year-old man found dead at the scene.
  • In recent years, Guanajuato state has seen escalating clashes between the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel, both designated terrorist groups by the Trump administration.
  • Most victims were children and teenagers, including one young adult, three teenagers and five children ages 5 to 12; three additional minors suffered shrapnel wounds and a 12-year-old fell while fleeing, with seven men and three women injured.
  • Authorities have not announced any arrests; Guanajuato state health department said four discharged patients, four hospitalized in stable condition, and a 24-year-old man and 5-year-old boy remain serious.
  • The incident adds to a pattern of mass shootings and clandestine graves across Guanajuato, where a late January attack in Salamanca killed at least 11 and injured 12.
