Gunmen
burst into a party hall in southeastern Mexico on Friday and opened fire,
killing at least 13 people, authorities said.
The attackers raided a family party
in the city of Minatitlán in the Mexican state of Veracruz. Six men, five women
and a child were killed and four others were wounded, the state's public
security department said.
Authorities said the suspects were
looking for a person known as "El Beky" when shooting ensued,
according to preliminary reports obtained by the state police. He is believed
to be the owner of a bar located in Minatitlán.
But the motive behind the mass
shooting was not immediately known.
"Federal and state forces have
deployed a strong search and capture operation of those responsible for the
events," Gutiérrez Maldonado, secretary of public security in Veracruz
state, tweeted Saturday.
