said<\/a>. The city is in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPrieto said an armed group arrived and opened fire on those present at the field. Ten people were killed at the scene and another died later at a hospital. At least 12 people were injured, including a woman and a minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday we are going through a serious moment, a serious social breakdown,\u201d Prieto said. \u201cUnfortunately, there are criminal groups trying to subdue authorities, and that is something they will not achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prieto said city officials are coordinating with state and federal authorities, including the state security secretary, prosecutors, and Mexico\u2019s federal security forces. He also appealed directly to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and the state governor for assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am asking the president and the governor for support so we can restore peace,\u201d Prieto said. \u201cWe will move forward, and those responsible will be found.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guanajuato has become one of Mexico\u2019s most violent states in recent years, driven by clashes between the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel, both designated as terrorist organizations by the Trump administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conflict has resulted in hundreds of killings and disappearances, frequent mass shootings, and the discovery of multiple clandestine graves across the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
