Seven were killed after a group of armed men attacked a central Mexican water park on Saturday. One person was severely injured. The incident occurred in the afternoon at La Palma swimming resort in the Cortazar municipality of Guanajuato state, DW reported.
Six adults and a 7-year-old child were killed. One person was severely injured in the assault.
A statement from City Hall in Cortazar said that police "arrived at the scene where they found...three dead women, three men and a seven-year-old minor, in addition to one person seriously wounded."
After the shooting, the attackers destroyed the spa shop and took the security cameras before fleeing, officials said.
The police haven't commented on a possible motive.
A video posted on social media shows several people in swimsuits running about crying, screaming and hugging their children. The police, with the help of helicopters, were scanning the area for the attackers.
Guanajuato, an agricultural and industrial hub, has been Mexico's most violent state for years.
