Authorities say they are investigating an apparent gunfight at an off-road vehicle rally in Mexico’s Baja California state that left 10 people dead and another 10 wounded.

Videos posted on social media showed heavy shooting at the rally in an area of Ensenada and at least three bodies lying on the ground.

The shooting, which took place early Saturday afternoon, provoked an intense mobilization of units of the army, navy, and state and local police.

Baja California officials say gunmen in one vehicle opened fire on people and vehicles at the rally. State prosecutor Ricardo Ivan Carpio said that vehicle was found to have “perforations from gunshots and traces of blood inside.” The state prosecutor’s office said there was evidence of crossfire suggesting it was a confrontation between members of organized crime groups.

Why one Ontario animal rescue is being inundated with unwanted dogs
animal rescue agency is asking for help as adoption rates sit at an all-time low while more dogs are coming into their care.Precious Paws Rescue says that post-pandemic, and with the rising cost of living, they are seeing an increase in dogs being given up and a decrease in people looking to adopt a furry friend.The animal rescue agency is a charity that helps re-home dogs from shelters and owner surrenders and helps owners who can’t afford pet food or emergency surgeries.The rescue’s founder says 2023 has been the most challenging year for adoption applications in their 17 years of operation.“COVID brought a huge surge in people who wanted dogs because they were at home, and it was just more feasible for them. During COVID, we had all kinds of applications, and the dogs were placed in homes fairly quickly once they were ready for adoption,” Cassandra Hauck says.“This year, we’re finding even that healthy, happy, 12-week-old puppies are not getting applications very quickly.”She says they are seeing a lot of dogs purchased during the pandemic that were not properly trained are now being given up.Hauck says they’re seeing more dogs being surrendered, and need more people looking to adopt.She notes on average, they usually have between 10 to 20 dogs at a time in foster homes, but right now, they have 25.Some of their dogs have been with foster families for more than a year.“I think that people being back working outside of the home is making it more difficult to have time for pets in their home.
