Gunmen Kill 11 After Soccer Match in Mexico
AI Summary
On Sunday, January 26, 2026, a mass shooting in Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico, left 11 dead and 12 injured after gunmen opened fire on people socializing after a soccer match. The city has seen a surge in violence, including another incident on Saturday that left five dead and the disarming of an explosive device at an oil facility a week prior. Salamanca is located in a region fought over by cartels, specifically between a local cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, who seek to control the area for drug trafficking and fuel theft. The Mexican government is investigating the shooting, which comes as they attempt to demonstrate to the U.S. their commitment to combating cartels amid threats of potential U.S. intervention. Guanajuato had the highest number of murders in Mexico last year.
