The violence is linked to the efforts of a local drug lord to push out the Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) from the city.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gmail-ydp79bc3875msonormal\"><span><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/06\/Colima-shooting.jpg\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>In recent days, rival gunmen had clashes and carried out executions. In one of the attacks, gunmen reportedly fired into the city zoo, killing a deer and a mountain goat. Soon after, zoo officials discovered the gunmen tried to poison the endangered wolf exhibit. Locals claimed authorities did nothing to stop the attack.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"es\">Lamentable lo que est\u00e1 pasando en el Zool\u00f3gico de Colima, el d\u00eda de ayer se report\u00f3 a personas que mataron a algunos animales a balazos.
