Six men shot dead in Mexico used car lot

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico: Six men were killed when gunmen opened fire in a used car lot in the capital of Mexico's northern state of Chihuahua, officials said.

The state prosecutor's office yesterday said that five men arrived in a vehicle, got out and fired on the victims late on Tuesday in Chihuahua City. Investigators recovered more than 50 bullet shells from the spot.

The state of Chihuahua has seen some of the worst violence in Mexico's drug war, with more than 10,000 people killed in the border city of Ciudad Juarez alone in the past six years.
