At least 10 people have been killed after gunmen attacked a bar in central Mexico, local officials say.

Four people armed with ‘long weapons’ arrived at Los Cantaritos bar in the city of Queretaro on Saturday night before opening fire on those inside, Juan Luis Ferrusca, the head of the local public security department, said on social media.

Seven men and three women were reported dead and at least seven people were injured, Mr Ferrusca said.

One of the suspects was arrested and the vehicle they travelled in was found burnt out and abandoned nearby.

A shootout between rival cartels left 16 dead in Mexico late last month.

The US has been pushing Mexico to step up its efforts to tackle violence, as well as the flow of smuggled drugs and guns.
