The shocking clip which was shared on social media shows the moment dozens of men storm the wake and violently drag mourners outside. The video believed to be filmed by a nearby neighbour, through a window shows the people lined up against a wall, most of them holding their hands behind their heads, while the gunmen are seen pointing their rifles at them. After taking their positions around their cars they open fire. The Michoacan chief prosecutor’s office said no bodies have been found, but investigators discovered firearms cartridges at the site where the video was suspected to have been filmed as well as “cleaning products” in a bag, saying the “site had recently been washed”. The Secretariat of Public Security in Michoacan State said they sent a team of National Guard and Mexican Army personnel to the scene after receiving a report of the shooting.
