The violence in Juárez continued to rage with at least 10 homicides occurring Friday.

Among the slayings were a triple homicide in the morning, a man gunned down outside a pool hall in the afternoon and a killing at a funeral home in the evening.

Shortly before 6 a.m., two unidentified women and a man were shot to death in a PT Cruiser on Rusia street, Chihuahua state police said.

At 2:30 p.m., Rodolfo Humberto Martha Jimenez, 27, was shot 13 times in the parking lot of the Pocket's billiards on Avenida de las Torres, police said.

There have been more than 1,300 homicides in the Juárez area so far this year, including nearly 30 since Monday.

In a brazen attack before dawn Thursday, gunmen fired at a Juárez hotel housing federal police, possibly in retaliation for the seizure Wednesday of two tons of marijuana. No injuries were reported.

Last weekend, Nov. 14-16, 22 people, including an El Pasoan, were slain.

On Nov. 15, Ricardo Miranda, 27, who had an ID card stating he was a resident of El Paso, was shot multiple times on a street in the Bellavista area in west Juárez, police said.
