Gunmen opened fire at a soccer field in central Mexico on Sunday, killing at least 11 people and wounding 12, authorities said. Salamanca Mayor Cesar Prieto said in a statement posted to social platforms that the gunmen arrived at the end of a soccer match. The mayor said a woman and a minor were among the wounded. The Guanajuato state prosecutor's office said it was investigating and coordinating with federal authorities to reinforce security in the area. “Unfortunately, there are criminal groups trying to subjugate authorities, something they are not going to achieve,” the mayor said.
