Massacre of 11 in pool hall in Honduras prompts security measures

Gunmen burst into a pool hall in northern Honduras and opened fire, killing 11 people and prompting President Xiomara Castro to announce security measures including curfews in the area amid a wave of drug trafficking-linked violence.
The attack occurred in the city of Choloma in Cortes province late Saturday night. It left 10 men and one woman dead.
The massacre followed the killing of three people Thursday in a bakery in the city of San Pedro Sula. Among the victims was Ericka Julissa Bandy Garcia, wife of an alleged associate of former President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is imprisoned in the U.S. awaiting trial for drug trafficking-related charges.
