Six people, including a 16-year-old teenager, were killed Wednesday in the Paraguayan town of Pedro Juan Caballero, on the border with Brazil. An investigation is underway on the question of whether there was an attack on murderers, the national police reported.

At the time of the incident, the victims were in front of a house in that town when at least three people armed with shoulder weapons shot at them from a vehicle in a vehicle. "Adaptation of accounts between badbadins", told the EFE news agency, María Elena Andrada, responsible for police communication.

The source said that it was a matter of "premature hypothesis" although it is based on the fact that one of the deceased had "two antecedents" and on another of them weighed an arrest warrant for facts related to gangs of killers.

During the attack, the one-year-old son of the murdered teenager, who had been admitted to a city hospital but was out of danger, was also shot in the stomach.

Of these victims, the source stated that they were in the "bad place and bad time".

The other five murdered, aged 20 to 26, were identified as Sergio Cabrera, Alcides Ayala, Diego Bullón, Pedro Valdes and Luciano Melgarejo, whose bodies had numerous gunshot wounds, mainly to the head and neck.

Andrada explained that the perpetrators of the murders had not yet been identified. "They fled immediately" in a truck.

The neighboring cities of Brazil, such as Pedro Juan Caballero or Ciudad del Este, Paraguay's second-largest city, are the main regional routes for cocaine and marijuana trafficking, according to drug authorities.
