At least 13 people were injured during the attack, with eight still hospitalized late Monday, the Secretary of Government said in a statement. Earlier Monday, the State of Mexico said four people had gunshot wounds and two others were injured falling.
Among those taken to hospitals were six Americans, three Colombians, one Russian, two Brazilians and one Canadian, the Associated Press reported, citing the local government.
