One killed in a shooting near Mexico’s presidential office

TEHRAN, Jul. 28 (MNA) – One person died and two more were wounded on July 27 after a shooting in Mexico City near the Zocalo public square and presidential palace.

Mexico City’s Security Secretariat described the shooting as a “direct attack” in which a 42-year-old man died and two 39-year-old men were injured, AFP reported.

The suspected attackers fled the scene on a motorcycle, and a police investigation is ongoing.

The attack occurred in Santo Domingo Square, an area surrounded by colonial-era buildings and notorious for the production and sale of false documents, local police said.

Although such shootings are common in areas under the control of narco-trafficking gangs, they remain unusual in the Mexican capital, despite the operation of several street gangs such as the Union Tepito and Fuerza Anti-Union.
