Masked men open fire in Acapulco bar, killing 10
(AP) ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — Masked gunmen have opened fire in a bar in the Mexican resort city of Acapulco, killing 10 people.
The Public Safety Department of southern Guerrero state says the gunmen arrived in several vehicles at the strip bar in a rough Acapulco neighborhood far from the tourist strips.
The 10 men killed ranged in age from 25 to 45. Four other people were injured in the attack early Saturday.
Six men and a women were found dead in other parts of Acapulco on Friday night, one of them decapitated.
Authorities have blamed rising violence in Acapulco on fighting between remnants of the Beltran Leyva drug cartel, most of whose leaders have been captured or killed.
