It happened in the town of Ensenada. The drivers were attacked by a group of men who arrived in a van. There are 9 injured.

A long gun attack against a group of amateur rally drivers in the Mexican town of Ensenada (north, on the border with the United States) left 10 dead and nine injured.

The massacre occurred on Saturday afternoon when motorists, who were participating in an adventure race, were parked along a highway and a group of men got out of a truck and opened fire.

The attack “left 9 people injured and 10 dead,” the Ensenada government said in a statement.

Videos posted on social media show the bodies of some victims next to SUVs on a dusty sidewalk.

The Baja California state prosecutor’s office – to which Ensenada belongs and hard hit by drug trafficking violence – announced the formation of a “special investigation group” to identify the murderers and determine the motives for the massacre, the statement said.

Some injured received emergency care from local Red Cross paramedics, who later transferred them to hospitals in the urban center of Ensenada, a municipality of some 440,000 inhabitants.

Baja California is one of the states with the most intentional homicides in Mexico, most of which are attributed by the government to wars between organized crime gangs. Between January and April, 721 murders were carried out there, according to official data.

This and five other entities concentrate 47.3% of the total homicides registered in the country in the same period (9,912 cases).

Mexico is involved in a spiral of violence that has left almost 400,000 dead and tens of thousands missing since 2006, when the government launched a controversial anti-drug offensive with the support of the United States and the participation of the Mexican armed forces.
