The shooting broke out on Saturday night at Los Cantaritos bar in the downtown district of Santiago de Querétaro, about 120 miles northwest of Mexico City.
Security footage from the bar showed the gunmen piling out of their vehicle at around 9:30 pm.
Each of the suspects appeared to have huge, long-range guns, which they held up as they rushed into the popular bar.
One of the shooters was seen starting to open fire outside the bar.
More horrifying video from inside the bar showed the attackers shooting indiscriminately at people eating at tables.
People were seen screaming and throwing themselves on the floor and under tables to hide from the bullets ricocheting across the bar.
After a few minutes of gunfire, the group of criminals rushed back into the getaway car and escaped.
When police arrived at the bloody scene that night, they found 10 people dead and at least seven more injured, according to the city’s public security department chief Juan Luis Ferrusca.
The killed victims included seven men and three women, cops said.
Officials confirmed the four shooters came to the scene with long-range weapons.
Police tracked the license plate of the getaway truck and followed it to a nearby city, where they found the vehicle abandoned and on fire.
One suspect has been detained.
Querétaro Governor Mauricio Kuri said the massacre was an “unprecedented event,” adding, “We cannot ever stand for this.”
“I reiterate to our community that there will be punishment for those responsible for this brutal act,” he said.
Where is Querétaro?
A shooting at a bar in Querétaro killed 10 people late on Saturday night.
Santiago de Querétaro is the capital of Querétaro state.
Querétaro is located about 120 miles northwest of Mexico City.
It’s known for its Spanish colonial architecture.
The search continues for the gunmen as their motive remains unclear.
“We will continue to close our borders and maintain security in our state,” Kuri said.
“The entire security system of Querétaro is mobilized to find these criminals.”
Kuri vowed to bring justice to the killers and said he was working to provide aid to the families of the victims.

Querétaro is considered a safer area of Mexico than its surrounding states, which have often been affected by drug cartel-related violence.
Just last month, Chilpancingo mayor Alejandro Arcos was beheaded in a cartel assassination just days after taking office.
