JUAREZ - A teenage girl died Sunday at a hospital after being shot by federal police in the same neighborhood where gunmen massacred 15 youths at a party a year ago.

Karina Ivette Ibarra Soria, 16, was shot while riding in a car. Police said someone in the vehicle had opened fire at officers shortly beforehand.

However the National Human Rights Commission said it was investigating the shooting, in which a second girl was wounded.
