Gunmen killed 15 people in a mass shooting at a drug rehabilitation center in the northern border state of Chihuahua. The Chihuahua state prosecutor's office said, initial investigations prove that the attack was related to drug distribution and the feud between the Mexicles and Aztecas drug gangs.
Prosecutors said at least seven other people were wounded in the attack in the
state capital.
The Aztecas are armed enforcers for the Juarez drug cartel, and they have fought longstanding turf battles with the Mexicles in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas.Drug cartels have been known to use rehab centers to recruit addicts, and rival gangs sometimes assault the centers.
