A shooting during a religious festival in Irapuato, Mexico, left 11 people dead and over 20 injured, sparking widespread condemnation from officials including President Claudia Sheinbaum. Local witnesses described a scene of panic as attendees fled gunfire. The incident was labeled as a cowardly act by local government, and psychological support has been made available for affected families. While Guanajuato state is often recognized for its economic growth, it is notorious for its violent crime associated with ongoing turf wars among criminal organizations.
"It was chaos. People put the wounded into their cars and rushed to hospital to try to save them," a witness said.
President Claudia Sheinbaum described the attack as deplorable and confirmed that an investigation had been launched.
