CARACAS (Reuters) - Gunmen stormed a graduation party at a home in Venezuela's central Bolivar state and killed eight people, including six teenagers, the country's public prosecutor said on Sunday.

The Attorney General's office said in a statement that several armed men opened fire repeatedly on the revelers on Saturday in Caicara del Orinoco, a town on the southern bank of the Orinoco River.

In a separate incident on Sunday, four men and a woman were killed by hooded gunmen at a birthday party in Valle de La Pascua in central Guarico state, prosecutors said.

---------
Experts say the problem is rooted in a dysfunctional justice system, gang-controlled prisons, and poor working conditions for police - some of whom are believed to carry out serious crimes.

3. Venezuela's murder rate is much higher...

I think Venezuela's muder rate is about 10 times higher than the USA rate.

4. Every once in a blue moon is when a massacre happens, and because of a kid with mental issues

This kind of massacre is actually not that uncommon in Venezuela.

I also suggest you look up the murder rate numbers in the US and compare them to Venezuela, because obviously there's a lot you don't know about.

6. I am we'll aware of what the crime rate is

In both countries.
The crime in parts of America is very bad and yes not everywhere. Tell that to the black folks in Chicago.
Thanks for your concern about what I don't know.

5. Where was Maduro's national guard?

Thought they were cracking down on crime.

7. no, they only say that or make it a show

although, at the same time it would be hard to be any worse than last year. Hugo's legacy of crime and corruption and failed state enterprises.
