As you may notice, i live in Guadalajara, one of the main cities on Mexico.
Every friday, i play on a covers band (Kings of Leon, The Killers bla blah blah blah). We finished playing about 3:30 AM (Saturday).
When we were packing our gear to go home, we heard people screaming, we came out of the bar, and then we just saw a guy throwing something at the entrance of the bar crossing the street. It was a fragmentation grenade. It exploded, killing instantly 3 or 4 people, right in front of our eyes.
The guy who threw the grenade quickly took a cab and left. If it wasn't enough... another van came, took out an Ak-47 or some sort of rifle and started shooting.
After this point, we all got inside (to the bar where we played) scared.
6 people were killed, and 25 were injured. It was the work of some drug dealers band.
It was just horrible, kind of things you never forget.
By the way, this isn't something strange, every week, things like these happen. Beheaded people, shootings, all kind of things.
The media does a damn great job at hiding these things.
Here's the article, just came out, you can watch the date, if you think im making this up.
Of course it's on spanish, you might need to use a translator.
