A group of unidentified gunmen randomly opened fire at a party today in Juarez, Mexico. The attack killed 13 people, and injured at least 13 more. It was said the gunmen arrived at the location of the party, blocked off all the nearby streets and exits, and opened fire on the innocent bystanders. It's being suspected that the attacks were drug related according to initial reports. Juarez is a key location for drug cartels to distribute narcotics into the United States because of its close proximity to the border. In the past few years Mexico has become ridiculed with drug cartels which has led to a huge increase in murder rates within the country. According to the article, with this attack included, there have been over 160 murders in city of Juarez alone since the new year. Unfortunately, so long as drug cartels are going to have territory clashes, we can expect stories like this on a fairly frequent basis coming out of Mexico.
