The State Attorney General's Office (FGE) released a statement which said that 16 men and three women had been shot and killed in Central Mexico on Sunday.
Nineteen people were shot and killed in central Mexico on Sunday, the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) said in a statement.
Authorities were called to the scene at around 10:30 pm (0430 GMT Monday) following reports of an attack on a festive gathering in the town of Las Tinajas, Michoacan state.
"19 lifeless bodies were found (16 men and three women), who had gunshot wounds," the FGE said.
Several others were injured and had been sent to hospital, it added.
Federal authorities are working "with the aim of capturing those responsible for the violent acts," the office of Michoacan's secretary of public security said on Twitter.
Authorities did not give a reason for the shooting.
But Michoacan and neighbouring Guanajuato are two of Mexico's most violent states, due to turf wars between rival gangs involved in drug trafficking and other illegal activities -- including trade in stolen fuel.
