QUITO, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) — Eight people were killed and three others were wounded after a group of armed gunmen opened fire on a crowd outside a nightclub in the city of Santa Lucia in western Ecuador's Guayas province, local media reported.
Armed gunmen reportedly arrived at the nightclub early Sunday morning in two vehicles and opened fire on those present.
Police said one of the dead, Jorge Urquizo, was the brother of the city's mayor, Ubaldo Urquizo.
Violent crime has increased sharply in Guayas province, largely due to gang activity.
On August 6, Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa declared a 60-day state of emergency in four provinces, including Guayas and Manabi, citing severe internal unrest. –0–
