One killed in shooting near Mexico's presidential office

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, according to AFP. 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.

According to the report by Mehr News, the incident took place near the presidential office, highlighting the security challenges in the capital. The investigation continues as authorities seek to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
