At least 8 killed in Juárez bar shooting

At least eight people were shot and killed in a bar in Juárez tonight, Chihuahua state police said.

The attack occurred in Las Torres bar on Avenida de Las Torres in the east part of the city.

Details were sketchy but initial reports stated that gunmen stormed into the bar, began firing and that most of the victims were women.

The shooting was part of another violent day that had 10 homicides prior to the bar shootings.

Such multiple slayings are not uncommon in Juarez where the Juarez and Sinaloa drug cartel and their respective allies have been battling for more than three years for control of a lucrative drug smuggling corridor into the United States.

More than 7,200 people have been killed in the city since 2008.
