CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico — At least 30 gunmen burst into a drug rehabilitation center in a Mexican border state capital and opened fire, killing 19 men and wounding four people, police said.
Gunmen also killed 20 people in another drug-plagued northern city. The killings marked one of the bloodiest weeks ever in Mexico.
The men at the Faith and Life center were roused out of bed about 11 p.m. and placed facedown in a hallway, said the center’s director, Cristian Rey Ramirez.
Most of the victims ranged in age from 30 to 40, with some older, and included a blind man, said the Rev. Rene Castillo, a minister who gives sermons at the center, which opened 11 years ago.
