CULIACAN, Mexico — Gunmen who killed eight people and wounded seven at a pickup volleyball game in the Mexican state of Sinaloa were targeting the men at the game, authorities said Saturday.
Sinaloa prosecutor Marco Antonio Higuera said although it has not be ruled out that the volleyball players and spectators were caught in a crossfire, witnesses told authorities the assailants arrived with two people with covered faces who pointed out to the gunmen whom to shoot.
No motive has been given for Friday’s attack in the state capital of Culiacan, but Sinaloa is the home of the powerful Sinaloa cartel led by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
