| [Iran Press TV] At least eight masked gunnies have killed 14 people who had gathered to play an amateur soccer game in Honduras's second largest city, San Pedro Sul. "There were 14 of them at a football field in the Felipe Zelaya housing development; some guys showed up and started firing at them. Ten of them were killed instantly," police commissioner Leonel Sauceda said on Saturday. Four of the victims were rushed to hospital, but all of them died shortly after the assault, another police front man said. Honduran Vice Minister of Security Armando Calidonio confirmed the attack, but said the motive behind the shooting is not yet unknown. Mass shootings are not uncommon in Honduras. Street gangs are blamed for rampant violent crime and extortion and have recently turned to acting as enforcers for drug cartels. |
