On Saturday night, an armed group stormed the “Los Cantaritos” bar in downtown Querétaro, opening fire on customers and causing widespread panic. The attack resulted in ten fatalities and nine injuries. Initial reports indicate that the assailants entered the establishment and began shooting indiscriminately.
The victims include seven men and three women, while the injured were transported to local hospitals for medical treatment. Authorities from the State Attorney General’s Office and the Municipal Public Security Secretariat (SSPM) are investigating the scene and collecting evidence, though the motive for the attack remains unclear.
The incident has been described as unprecedented in Querétaro, with no similar massacres in recent memory. Both state and federal governments have yet to comment on the attack.
Panic and Aftermath
The shooting caused terror among the bar’s patrons, who tried to take cover by throwing themselves to the ground. A video clip of the incident has circulated on social media, showing customers attempting to protect themselves from the gunfire. The footage has sparked widespread concern and calls for justice and increased security in the state.
The Querétaro Prosecutor’s Office and the SSPM have pledged to continue their efforts to identify and apprehend those responsible for the attack and to uncover the motives behind it.
