At least 7 victims were shot to death with another 14 wounded by heavily-armed gunmen at a clandestine cockfight arena in Chihuahua, Mexico.

Preliminary information revealed that an unknown number of gunmen opened fire at the cockfighting arena which is located on the outskirts of the state capital of Chihuahua.

Several masked gunmen opened fire on people gathered at the club late Saturday at approximately 11pm. Four were killed at the scene with an additional three succumbing to their wounds in transit to hospital.

Two of the wounded were identified as children aged seven and 10. One victim, who died early Sunday morning, was identified as 15-year-old Juan. He received a gunshot to the chest.

The state prosecutor announced the investigation would be handled by the ministerial police. No arrests have been made at this time. Preliminary information indicates that one suspect is only known by the nickname “Cochiloco” (crazy pig).

The Chihuahua state capital and surrounding municipalities have been plagued by ongoing cartel violence and associated corruption.

In January, authorities in Ciudad Juarez arrested 8 hitmen for Los Aztecas suspected in 16 cartel assassinations in the last three months.

The 58-year-old male accused of leading the cell was also captured.

In late December 2017, a police chief from Namiquipa believed to be working with drug cartels by providing protection was arrested along with two officers.

In early December two police chiefs from Casas Grandes and Cuauhtemoc were murdered within a week by cartel gunmen.

Cockfighting is very popular in many parts of Mexico; the primary draw is the gambling.

The activity also tends to invite organized crime and cartel elements due to the high-stakes wagers. Gun violence is also common.

Cockfighting operations have also been discovered in the United States, typically along the southern border.

The illegal operations are primarily run by illegal and legal immigrants from Mexico. Numerous operations have been closed down in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and California.

The only victims were the feathered cocks. Screw the rest of em, including the kids-(future criminals). Just you wait & see. They gotta start out criminalizing early on. If they want to play with the big boys then they can take the consequences that go with hangin with the big boys.
