LATIMES UPDATE: AM/ 05 Feb/
Fifteen died after attending a party in Cuidad Juarez where attackers fired indiscriminately. Eight of the dead were younger than 20, and at least 12 were wounded. Police recovered at least 82 bullet casings.
"The men drove up in four SUVs, they were well-armed. They went into the house and shot at everyone, you could hear the gunfire all around," reported a neighbor.
"There is no logical explanation, a concrete reason for this event. This is something that worries us, gratuitous or random criminal acts," said Mayor Jose Reyes Ferriz. Now police are blaming some of the victims, claiming drug connections after a suspect was arrested. But family members blew-up and police retracted their theory. The Juarez case has become a political hot potato, with parents of the victims calling for the resignation of President Felipe Calderon.
