Gunmen Kill 6, Injure 5 in Bar Shooting in Tabasco, Mexico

The attack in Villahermosa highlights escalating violence in the region as Mexico's new president faces mounting security challenges.

Gunmen opened fire early Sunday in a bar in Villahermosa, Tabasco, killing six people and injuring at least five others.
Authorities report that the attackers appeared to be targeting a specific individual, though the motive remains unclear.
No arrests have been made, and an investigation is underway with federal and local authorities collaborating to solve the crime.
The incident is part of a broader surge in violence in Mexico, with over 450,000 murders linked to drug trafficking and gangs since 2006.
This comes as President Christina Sheinbaum, in office since October, seeks to address violence through social policy and intelligence rather than direct confrontation with cartels.
