MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — An unusually violent night around the
northern Mexican city of Monterrey, including a string of attacks on
bars, left at least 15 dead and nine wounded, authorities said Sunday.
The Nuevo Leon state prosecutor's office
reported in a statement that 12 people died in six bar attacks overnight
in the municipalities of Monterrey, Guadalupe and Juarez. A man and a
14-year-old boy were also shot dead in their car on a highway, and in
the city of Linares, a man was killed in a clash between rival gangs
after a "quinceanera" coming-of-age party at a private home.
No arrests were announced.
