The report said that a Facebook live stream captured the horror of that day.

The crowd was seen smiling and chanting before gunfire suddenly rang out off camera, drowning out their cheers. About 20 gunshots were heard in the video.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the attack during her morning press conference on Monday and said she had no information yet about the motive. She added that her government is in coordination with Veracruz state officials and offered federal support if necessary, including contact with the state attorney general’s office.

Authorities are still investigating the matter and are promising justice.

Like I said in the other thread, I won't be able to live in Mexico even if it is just for a day. The violence there is so much.

Indeed the violence in Mexico is extreme and that happens because of drugs. Mexico is a difficult and scary country to visit. It's one reason why President Trump close the US - Mexico border.

That is possible that there was an inside job, a political rival. They have to wait for the result of the election and the decision of the voters,

The suspect had planned his plan well until this time, but the suspect is still at large. It is dangerous to run into politics this time anywhere in the world. During the midterm election in my country, which was last week, many were killed by their political rivals.
