Gunmen kill eight in Mexico City suburb drive-by attack
Source: BBC

Mexican officials say unidentified gunmen have killed eight people in Nezahualcoyotl, a working-class suburb of the capital, Mexico City.

The attack comes shortly after another mass shooting in the area, which police say has not seen the levels of violence common in some northern Mexican states.

The victims were all aged between 16 and 25 years old.

7. The US drug policy.....
...is tantamount to a declaration of war on the people of Mexico. Even though a large majority of Americans wish to end the crimilization of marijuana and cocaine, still our so-called elected representative ignore us.

- IGNORE US!
