Violence in Guanajuato, Mexico

Overview

A series of armed attacks in the Mexican state of Guanajuato has resulted in multiple injuries, including several children.

In Pénjamo, gunmen on a motorcycle targeted two men in the Corral de Piedra neighborhood, wounding a 54-year-old and a 20-year-old. A separate attack in the Jalisco alley area left a nine-year-old girl with a leg injury.
