At least 10 masked gunmen dressed in what looked like police uniforms stormed a popular Mexican bar in the city of Chihuahua on Friday, killing 15 people, including two journalists.

Eleven people died at the scene and another four died on route to the hospital after the gunmen opened fire on the crowd inside El Colorado Bar, reported CNN. The victims ranged in age from 25 to 72. Agence France-Presse said that among them were Hector Javier Aguirre Salinas, the owner of a news website and a respected journalist, and Francisco Javier Moya, who has served as the news director for a radio station in Ciudad Juarez.

"The crime of our partners and the rest of those killed in the attack, cannot go unpunished," Roberto Delgado, president of the Association of Journalists in Juarez, said in a statement about the killings.

Carlos Gonzalez, spokesman for the local prosecutor's office, stated the gunmen were hunting for someone specific, although he did not say whom, according to the Los Angeles Times. Another person was wounded during the shooting and another survived by hiding.

According to CNN, prosecutors said they collected at least 30 shell casings, including several bullet casings from an AK-47. The Associated Press said authorities are trying to determine the motive for the shootings.

How soon can we get a count of Fast and Furious guns involved? This could take the 0bama-Holder murder count up a few notches.

Here is what possibly happened...

Journalists who were critical of the cartels were killed at a bar.

I wonder if the guns were “Holder-sent” and tied back to Fast & Furious/Gunwalker?

If they were tied, Issa better start bringing up Articles of Impeachment for UhKenyan and Holder.

I wonder if Obummer Inc supplied the weapons via F&F.

I think we can safely assume that was a squad of obama’s private civilian army (”just as well funded and equiped as the military”), was sent across the border on a training mission, to get practical experience killing innocent people. (Wonder if they were wearing their purple shirts or their hoodies?)

OBAMA SITTING IN THE OVAL OFFICE WITH ERIC HOLDER READING THE 'AFTER ACTION REPORT' AND NOTICES THAT HIS PEOPLE KILLED THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE IN ~Chihuahua~, MEXICO.

OBAMA: "Hey, mother fu*king hommie....why does "Chihuahua" keep ringing a bell with me?"

HOLDER: "It's a city down there, your honor, and also the name of a Mexican dog".

OBAMA (as light bulb goes off above his head):"Mexican dog? hmmmm...Mexican dog?"

HOLDER: Yeah...little, brown shits' that bark in Spanish.

OBAMA (picking up phone): "Valerie, get me my personal chef, NOW!!

OBAMA (when chef comes on line): "Chef-dude, this is your president. Mix up some Mexican salsa, chop up a bowl of those hot peppers and get out the stew pot. My body guards will be bringing you a package soon. Cook it up, baby. We ain't doing KFC tonight."

OBAMA (picking up phone again): "Val...get hold of my Chief body guard and have him send a team over to the SPCA Dog Pound. Here's what I want them to do ....."
