On June 10, 2010, at least 19 people were killed in the Mexican state of Chihuahua in shooting attacks due to an ongoing drug war.[1] The attack was on a drug rehabilitation clinic in the state capital Chihuahua.[2] Four other people were wounded.[3]
Shootings
At least 30 gunmen pulled up in six trucks and entered the second floor of the Templo Cristiano Fe y Vida (Christian Faith and Life Temple).[3] They told anyone who asked that they were from the police[4] before proceeding to fire at people they encountered, including staff and patients.[3] The victims were lined up and then executed by the gunmen.[4] The murdered patients were between the ages of 18 and 25.[4]
Perpetrators and motive
The perpetrators fled on foot.[3] They are unknown, but are thought to be members of a cartel in search of revenge.[2]
According to a Chihuahuan police spokesman, the attackers described those whom they attacked as "criminals" and left messages for them expressing this.[3]
Response
President of Mexico Felipe Calderón issued his condemnation from South Africa, where he was attending the Mexico national football team's opening game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[4] He described such attacks as "outrageous acts that reinforce the need to fight with the full force of the law criminal groups carrying out such barbarism".[4]
