What started as a celebration of a patron saint festival in the city of Irapuato, Guanajuato, quickly turned into tragedy after an armed attack in the Barrio Nuevo neighborhood left 10 people dead and 17 others injured, including children.
The shooting took place on June 24 during festivities honoring Saint John, a popular tradition among residents in Guanajuato. Attendees at a home in Barrio Nuevo were dancing to live music when gunfire broke out.
