Armed Attack on Bar in Puebla

The preliminary count is two injured people and material damage to the building. According to the first reports from UnoTV, the attack occurred around 21:00 when unknown subjects on motorcycles arrived at the establishment, located on Calle 28 Oriente, almost on the corner with Avenida Acueducto, and opened fire without warning. The attack caused panic among customers and neighbors in the area. The initial lines of investigation point to a possible settling of scores or an extortion case, although authorities have not confirmed the motive for the attack. However, authorities clarified that the fire was caused by the fall of objects such as altars with incense and a plastic table during the brawl. Security elements and emergency services attended to the injured, who were taken to a nearby hospital; their health status is reported as reserved. The area was cordoned off for several hours while experts from the State Attorney General's Office carried out the corresponding procedures, including the lifting of spent casings and the collection of testimonies. So far, no arrests have been reported. A strong police mobilization and emergency services deployment was registered in the city of Puebla, following a direct armed attack on the bar “Cachaos”, located in the 10 de Mayo neighborhood. Two men who presumably worked as security personnel at the location were injured in the incident. After the aggression, the attackers fled in an unknown direction, with no information yet about their whereabouts. The use of a Molotov cocktail has been ruled out; the motive is being investigated. Initially, reports pointed to the use of a Molotov cocktail due to the presence of fire and smoke inside the bar.
