5 norteno musicians, 4 others killed in Mexico (AP)

MEXICO CITY ? Mexican authorities say a masked man opened fire against a band playing popular norteno music in a Chihuahua city dance hall, killing five musicians, four customers and injuring 10 others.

Chihuahua prosecutors spokesman Carlos Gonzalez says the attack appeared to target members of the La Quinta Banda music group but the motive behind the early Saturday shooting wasn't clear. The suspect fired around 40 times with a high-caliber weapon in the Far West disco.

Among the dead was an off-duty police woman, Gonzalez said.

Norteno singers in Mexico have been targeted before apparently for getting involved with drug cartels who pay them to compose narcocorridos, or ballads that glorify drug lords.
