Ten people were killed in the attack on a bar by four armed individuals Saturday evening in Querétaro, in central Mexico, said the security chief of this city generally spared from narcoviolence.

“Four armed people arrived with long-range weapons aboard a van,” said Juan Luis Ferrusca Ortiz in a video posted on X. “Inside we recorded the deaths of ten people and at least seven Others were injured.”

The attackers arrived in a vehicle whose license plate number was identified, he said. The vehicle was set on fire “by the alleged perpetrators”. A person is in police custody who will be referred to the General Prosecutor’s Office of the State of Querétaro, he added.

Emergency services received a call after 9 p.m. local time. The “Los Cantaritos” bar is located on the circular boulevard near the historic center of Querltaro, a magnificent colonial town which hosted at the beginning of September as every year the Mexican edition of the “Hay festival”, a meeting of artists and intellectuals.

The state of Querétaro and its capital of the same name are generally spared the violence of drug trafficking or the rivalry between criminal gangs which agitates the neighboring state of Guanajuato, which records the most homicides among the 32 entities of Mexico.
