6 dead in Mexican Nightclub attack

Early Sunday morning in Guadalajara, Mexico 6 people, and 37 injured in a night club attack. There has been a lot of violence and tension across the U.S./Mexico border, but rarely has it reached as far south as Guadalajara in recent years. Guadalajara is Mexico's second largest metro area, and it is a major piece of territory in the Mexican drug trade because of its location in the south and western routes. Violence has been subdued recent years in Guadalajara because the Cartels were weakened, but with growing resistance at the U.S. border, cartels are trying to combat the U.S. border patrol by beefing up there own resources.
