CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Gunmen burst into a bar called "Desesperados" in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and opened fire on Sunday, killing five people and wounding nine others, authorities said.

Assailants also killed the state's prisons director and his son in a second attack in the area, which has turned into a deadly battleground for warring drug cartels.

Gunmen opened fire on the vehicle carrying Chihuahua prison director Gerardo Ortiz and his son in Chihuahua city, the state capital, located south of Ciudad Juarez. The state's prisons used to be the site of frequent battles between gangs, but deaths in such disputes had appeared to decline over the last year.

Authorities offered no motive for the attack in the "Desesperados" — or "The Desperate Ones" — bar early Sunday. The nine wounded were listed in serious condition at hospitals in Chihuahua state, were Ciudad Juarez is located, according to state prosecutors' spokesman Fidel Banuelos.

A fence?

These people just want a decent job, doing what Americans won't do.

If we stopped ALL the drug shipments along the border, we could have built a wall out of them.

I wonder when Hilary will bring the UN around to sue the people who reported this. Surely it is against their human rights policy to embarrass the gunmen!

In El Paso we have a HUGE fence. In many places it is 18-foot high reinforced steel. This latest outrage occurred in Cd. Juarez.
