FOUR people are dead, and another is injured after several gunmen reportedly walked inside a Denny’s restaurant in Mexico and opened fire.
The deadly scene unfolded Thursday afternoon at a Denny’s restaurant in the neighboring Mexican city of Cuidad Juarez in Chihuahua.
The suspected targeted attack left two male victims and two females dead, Mexican authorities confirmed with local outlet Net Noticias.
A fifth person was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
According to preliminary police reports, several gunmen stormed the restaurant and opened fire on the group.
A minor at the same table was left unharmed, KVIA reports.
“It was terrible, we heard about 10 shots and then we all threw ourselves on the floor,” witness Mario N told El Diario de Chihuahua, adding that several people sought shelter in the bathroom.
Several windows at the Denny’s were riddled with bullet holes.
The restaurant’s curtains were closed to prevent photographers from taking photos of the scene inside the diner, per the outlet.
Roberto Fierro Duarte, the attorney general of the state of Chihuahua, said authorities are still piecing together their investigation, calling the incident an “unfortunate event”.
“Until now, we only have the unfortunate events that were reported at the restaurant in Cuidad Juarez. We are still collecting information,” Duarte told reporters.
