# Shooting near Mexico’s presidential palace kills one 2026-08-07T15:51:02+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A shooting near Mexico City's Zocalo square and Presidential Palace on Monday killed one man and wounded two others. Mexico City's Security Secretariat called it a "direct attack". The deceased was a 42-year-old man, and two 39-year-old men were injured, the police said. The suspected attackers fled on a motorcycle, and an investigation is ongoing. The attack happened in Santo Domingo Square, a colonial-era area known for producing and selling fake documents, local police said. While such shootings are common in areas controlled by narco-gangs, they remain unusual in the Mexican capital, despite the presence of street gangs like Union Tepito and Fuerza Anti-Union. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: crime, Mexico, Mexico City, presidential palace, shooting, violence Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/shooting-near-mexicos-presidential-palace-kills-one/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
