11 killed, 12 injured as gunmen storm Mexico football pitch

No fewer than 11 people were killed and another 12 injured when gunmen opened fire on locals who had gathered at a football pitch in Salamanca, Mexico, on Sunday.

Witnesses disclosed that the gunmen arrived at the grounds in several vehicles and shot at those gathered there seemingly indiscriminately.

Many families had stayed behind to socialise after a match between local clubs.

One woman and one child were among those killed, according to BBC.

The motive for the attack in the state of Guanajuato was not immediately known.

Local and federal security forces said on Monday an investigation into the deadly shooting has commenced.

Guanajuato recorded the highest number of murders in Mexico in 2025.
