Mexico bar shooting: 7 dead, 5 wounded after gunmen open fire in Tabasco

Live Mint  

A shooting at a bar in southeastern Mexico left seven people dead and five wounded, authorities said Sunday, the latest in a series of similar attacks in the violence-plagued country. The death toll initially stood at five, but the Tabasco public prosecutor's office later said two more people had died in the attack on what it described as "a clandestine bar that operated irregularly." It came two weeks after an attack on a bar left 10 dead in the city of Queretaro, in a central region that until now had been spared from violence linked to organized crime. The former Mexico City mayor, who became the country's first woman president on October 1, has ruled out declaring "war" on drug cartels.
