Guadalajara, Mexico - Six people were shot and killed inside a private law office in central Mexico, state prosecutors said.
Five men and a woman died in Thursday's attack in the city of Guadalajara, the Jalisco state attorney general's office said in a statement. It was not immediately clear whether they were attorneys.
Two women survived the shooting, the statement said. Mexico City newspaper El Universal reported they were seriously wounded, citing unspecified police reports.
The bodies were found in different parts of the office, and some of the victims' hands were tied, the statement said. The gunshot wounds appeared to come from a 9 mm weapon.
No arrests had been made, and authorities did not say whether anything appeared to have been stolen.
In recent years, Mexico has suffered a wave of organized crime and drug-related violence that killed more than 2,500 people last year alone.
It was not immediately clear if the office had clients with links to organized crime. |
