Sheinbaum Declines Comment on Attack at Former Home of Sinaloa Governor; Cites Official Statement

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo of Mexico has sidestepped questions regarding a recent shooting incident at a former home of Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya. When pressed by reporters about reinforcing security measures for the governor, who is on leave and reportedly faces U.S. Justice Department scrutiny, Sheinbaum deferred, stating that the Sinaloa Secretary of Public Security had already released a statement. The incident involved gunfire at an unoccupied residence in Culiacán, which has been vacant for over ten years. Authorities confirmed no injuries resulted from the attack, and investigations are underway to identify the perpetrators. This response from the president highlights a cautious approach to commenting on security matters, particularly those involving state officials and potential links to organized crime, opting to rely on official statements from the relevant state security apparatus. The focus remains on the ongoing investigation and the official communication from Sinaloa's security forces.
