Guatemalan Bar Attack Leaves 11 People Dead
This look like the work of a gang and my limited understanding of the issue in Guatemala is that crime is quite bad there due to drug-related crimes and gangs such as this one.
QUOTE The attack on a bar in Guatemala left 11 people dead and at least another 15 wounded.
A group of armed men in Guatemala has killed 11 people and wounded at least another 15 in an attack at a bar in the town of San Jose Nacahuil.
Some of the victims were found dead after they tried to hide in the liquor store's bathrooms and nearby alleys.
The motive is not clear, but Guatemalan police are investigating the possible involvement of the country's notorious criminal gangs, or maras.
Some residents said they doubted this interpretation of events.
Local resident Nery Pixtun told the Reuters news agency: "The person or the persons that did this are not mara members. Whoever did this was a professional, it was done by a person trained to use those weapons."
The predominantly indigenous population of the town expelled all police forces from the town in 2005. Source 5
