It was a shocking incident. Armed criminals on motorcycles opened fire indiscriminately at spectators in a soccer stadium, resulting in one fatality and six injuries.

The UK outlet 'The Sun' reported on the 15th (Korean time) that "during an amateur soccer match in Mexico, criminals rushed into the area near the touchline and opened fire, killing one person and injuring six."

The tragedy occurred during a match held last Sunday afternoon in San Francisco del Rincón, Guanajuato State, Mexico. Armed criminals rode motorcycles close to the stadium's touchline before unleashing gunfire on the crowd.

'The Sun' explained that "players and spectators, startled by the sudden gunfire, screamed and scattered in all directions," adding that "the tense moments of the shooting were fully captured in a video recorded by an on-site witness."

According to local media, a total of seven people were shot. Relatives present at the scene immediately loaded the injured into vehicles and rushed them to hospitals; however, one citizen who worked as a food vendor ultimately died at the hospital. The remaining six injured are currently hospitalized receiving treatment.

A city police official told local media in an interview that "the criminals appeared to target two specific individuals with gunfire, and additional victims were caught in the chaos as others fled."

The Guanajuato State Prosecution Service has officially launched a murder investigation and is now tracking down the fleeing suspects. The San Francisco del Rincón City Council announced it will support the injured and victims' families while closely cooperating with investigative authorities.

This is not the first time a shooting has occurred at an amateur soccer stadium in Guanajuato State. In January, criminals invaded an amateur soccer field in the Salamanca area and opened indiscriminate fire, killing as many as 11 people in a massacre. Local judicial authorities continue their investigation to uncover the exact motive and masterminds behind this incident.
