Gunmen kills 10 people in northern Mexico
Prosecutors say gunmen killed nine people at an auto repair shop in the gang-plagued city of Culiacan, while a police investigator was found shot to death near the city's police headquarters.
Culiacan is the capital of northern Sinaloa state - home to the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel and site of an ongoing wave of drug-related violence. Six bullet-ridden bodies were found inside the auto body shop, and three more bodies were found on the street just outside the business.
The state prosecutor's office said in a statement that none of the nine bodies have been identified and no arrests have been made.
A police investigator was found shot to death in his truck near Culiacan's police headquarters.
It was unclear if the same gunmen were involved in his death.

I think this is an important story and would benefit from other NowPublic contributors working on it. I've flagged it as News Wanted and invite others in relevant locations to look for more evidence.

Chilling! Looks like killing people is not too far like deer hunting for your night's dinner!

Could have been drug-related, or could have been somebody else sick as heck and off their meds. I cannot wait to learn more! Great story!
