24 shot to death in attack on drug rehab center in Mexico
MEXICO CITY Gunmen burst into an unregistered drug rehabilitation center in central Mexico and opened fire Wednesday, killing 24 people and wounding seven, authorities said. Apparently the attackers shot everyone at the rehab center. Diego Sinhue Rodrguez Vallejo said drug gangs appeared to have been involved. It was one of the deadliest attacks on a rehab center since 19 people were killed in 2010 in Chihuahua city in northern Mexico. Mexico has long had problems with rehab centers because most are privately run, underfunded and often commit abuses against recovering addicts.
