Ensenada, Mexico, Jan 25 (EFE).– Four people, including two children, were killed and 15 others wounded in a shooting at a cockfight in Ensenada, a city in the northwestern Mexican state of Baja California, over the weekend, prosecutors said.

Several masked gunmen entered the Palenque Poker building looking for a man they were ordered to kill, the Baja California Attorney General’s Office said.

About 500 people were attending a cockfight at the establishment when the gunmen opened fire.

Two boys, ages 16 and 11, were among those killed, the AG’s office said.

Investigators found several bullet casings and a smoke grenade in a parking lot.

Officials closed down the building and the parking lot after the shooting. EFE
