Attaque armée dans un parc au Mexique, deux morts et 8 enfants blessés 20.02.2026

An armed attack in a park in San Francisco del Rincon, Guanajuato, Mexico, on Tuesday evening resulted in two fatalities and at least eight children injured. A 36-year-old man died at the scene, and a 24-year-old man succumbed to his injuries after being hospitalized. Three of the eight injured minors have been released, with the remaining five reported to be out of danger. The governor of Guanajuato condemned the "absolutely unacceptable" act, which affected girls, boys, and adolescents, and pledged a firm response. Bullet impacts were visible on a nearby house, and one child sustained shrapnel wounds. Local residents reported hearing numerous gunshots around 9:30 PM while children were playing, with some noting that gang members frequently gather in the park. The state prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into the incident, which occurs amidst ongoing territorial disputes between cartels in the violent state of Guanajuato.
