Seven people were massacred this Tuesday night on the outskirts of Medellinafter a armed attack in what is the second most important city in Colombia.
The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. in the municipality of Rionegro, reported Colonel Carlos Andrés Martrínez Romero, commander of the Antioquia Department Police.
According to the report, at least 10 heavily armed individuals arrived at the home in Cabeceras and carried out the massacre.. The police offer a reward of 12 thousand dollars to anyone who provides information that could help in the capture of those responsible.
Military deployed a “padlock plan in the municipalities surrounding Cabeceras in order to locate those who carried out this violent act,” indicated the seventh division of the army, on the social network X.
