SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Gunmen opened fire into a bar and killed at least seven people, injuring 20 others, Puerto Rico police said Sunday.

A 9-year-old girl and a pregnant woman who lost her eight-month-old fetus after being shot were among those seriously wounded, said police Col. Jose Morales Vazquez.

At least two armed men began shooting late Saturday as they entered La Tombola bar, which had reopened that night under new ownership, Morales said. Several people who were at the bar returned fire and the shooting continued outside before the gunmen fled in a car, he said.

That was a drive-by shooting. Almost certainly the shooter were in illegal possession. The drive-by shooters were chased off by return gunfire, but that likely from illegal possession too.
