Gunmen killed at least 11 people and injured a dozen others at a football pitch in Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico on Sunday. The attack occurred after a local match when armed men arrived in vehicles and fired indiscriminately into the crowd, killing at least one woman and child. The motive is currently unknown, but Guanajuato has the highest murder rate in Mexico, fueled by gang violence related to oil theft, drug trafficking, and extortion. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and the Cartel de Santa Rosa de Lima (CSRL) are major players in the region's violence, with their activities extending into the United States. The US has designated the CJNG as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and has carried out strikes against suspected drug-transporting vessels.
